Ever since the ouster of Peter Dunn as the President of the CBS O&O’s, many of the CBS stations are seeing a change in General Managers.

Some have been fired, some retired and some were nudged to the door.

CBS has announced that Raquel Amparowill be the new GM starting next week at KTVT, the CBS O&O in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

Amparo will be rejoining CBS Stations after having spent the past four years with KUVN-DT and KSTR-DT, the Univision Communications-owned stations in Dallas-Fort Worth. She joined the duopoly as News Director in December 2017 and was promoted to Vice President of News in November 2019. Three months later, she took on the added responsibility of being the regional content lead for all of Univision’s large-market stations in Texas as well as Chicago.

“It is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to reunite with the team at CBS Dallas-Fort Worth, especially now that we are part of the newly unified CBS News and Stations organization,” Amparo said. “I am excited to come back and work with everyone at CBS 11 and TXA 21, including longtime colleagues and members of the team who have joined during the past few years. I believe journalism is a high calling and embrace having the responsibility to serve our audiences, community partners and clients across broadcast, streaming and digital platforms.”

It is nice to see CBS make a diverse GM hire after for years mostly having older white guys run their stations.
