David Rhodes, the head of Bloomberg Television in the United States, has been hired to be the new president of CBS News.
Rhodes has been the head of U.S. television for Bloomberg since November 2008, managing the channel’s programming, development, editorial, newsgathering, production and operations. In that post, he directed a staff of more than 200 in the United States, based at the company’s New York headquarters.
Prior to joining Bloomberg, Rhodes worked for 12 years at Fox News, starting at the channel’s inception in 1996 as a production assistant. At the time of his departure, Rhodes was vice president of news, managing all of the channel’s day-to-day news operations and domestic bureaus, with a particular emphasis on breaking news and political coverage.
“We are extremely pleased that David Rhodes will be joining Jeff at the helm of CBS News,” CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves said in a statement. “David is a tremendously talented and dynamic new voice in our organization, and he has already made a name for himself as a superb journalist and news executive with great energy, credibility and dedication. We believe he will make a huge contribution to the culture of CBS News, to its daily operations and vision, and will also offer fresh insights and a new point of view on the way we do things.”
