Peter Dunn, president and general manager of CBS Television’s New York flagship, has been promoted to president of CBS Television Stations. In his new position, Dunn will oversee the operations of CBS’ 29-station portfolio in addition to maintaining his role at WCBS-TV.

Dunn replaces Tom Kane, who decided to exit the company.

“Peter has been a terrific leader in every role he’s had at our station group, from president of sales to running two of our biggest stations. He knows how to deliver results and inspire the best work from his people, and knows the local marketplace as well as anyone,” said Les Moonves, president and CEO of CBS, to whom Dunn reports.

Prior to WCBS-TV, Dunn was president of sales for the BS Television Stations. He has also served as president and general manager of CBS’ Philadelphia duopoly, KYW and WPSG.

He’s also worked in TV sales and management for NBC Television Stations, ABC Television, and Katz Television.
