Bill Dallman takes over as the Vice President and News Director of KCBS and KCAL, the CBS-owned duopoly in Los Angeles.

“Bill comes to us with a great reputation as a terrific leader of large newsrooms, a consensus builder who brings out the best in his colleagues and a seasoned journalist who shares our deep commitment to producing high-quality newscasts,” KCBS/KCAL GM Steve Mauldin said. “We are thrilled to welcome him back to the local news world, where he has enjoyed great success in a number of very competitive markets, and look forward to having him play a leading role in the continuing success of our stations.”
Prior to moving to SoCal two years ago, Dallman spent seven years as Vice President of News at KMSP-TV, the Fox-owned station in Minneapolis-St. Paul, and seven years as Vice President of News at KDVR-TV, the Fox-owned station in Denver.
He officially starts early next month.
