Johnson Joins CBS Radio Houston

CBS Radio Houston has hired Tim Johnson as Live Events and Experiences Director for the six-station cluster. Johnson brings with him extensive market experience; most recently as Station Manager for former Radio Disney affiliate KMIC/Houston. Before that he spent seven years as Nat’l VP for Intranet Marketing & Communications for Clear Channel, and he’s also worked as Director of Marketing and Promotions for WLS and WKQX/Chicago; KLDE, KODA and KKBQ/Houston; WPCH and WFOX/Atlanta and WODS/Boston in the mid-’90s.

RAMP reached out Sarah Frazier, SVP/Market Manager of CBS Radio Houston, who explained her reasoning behind Johnson’s hire, telling us, “We had many highly qualified candidates for this position. We chose Tim because of the marketing-driven approach he takes with clients. Tim seeks to understand the client’s marketing situation in a deep way before he begins the work of putting together a custom live experience or an event sponsorship program. Furthermore, Tim has the detail-orientation to execute on the strategy. He has engendered a high amount of trust with the Account Executives and the Sales Management team throughout the interview process due to his track record and expertise.” Johnson is now on the job and can be reached at 713-881-5533 and tim.johnson@cbsradio.com.
