A cabinet shuffle has significantly restructured the highest ranks at CHUM. Newly appointed president and CEO Jay Switzer announced earlier this month the formation of a four-person ‘managing operating committee’ that, reporting to him, will handle the day-to-day operations of the Toronto radio and TV giant.

Stephen Tapp, former VP and GM of Citytv Toronto, moves up to EVP of television, while Paul Ski, former VP and GM of CHUM’s three Vancouver radio stations, takes over as EVP for radio. David Kirkwood has been promoted to EVP of sales and marketing for both radio and television. CHUM VP of finance Taylor Baiden is also on the committee. Other appointments are expected later.

The shuffle replaces the positions of president for TV and radio, previously held by Switzer and CHUM chairman of the board Jim Waters.
