Collins, who had worked in Houston for 22 years, will work under Brian Purdy, who oversees the company’s stations in Dallas and Houston, and alongside veteran programmer Tom Bigby. His duties will include working with the Cowboys radio network and with KRLD-FM, CBS’ new sports talk outlet, and news-talk KRLD-AM.

“This will give me the opportunity during my career to have worked with two of the best programming minds in the business in Ken Charles (late of Clear Channel Houston) and Tom Bigby,” Collins said. “I’m happy to be going to a bigger market and doing the things I know how to do.”
