Scott Pelley addressed the resignation of Executive Producer Bill Owens, who had cited editorial interference by CBS’s parent company, Paramount.

In a rare on-air rebuke April 27, longtime correspondent for the CBS newsmagazine Scott Pelley said the broadcaster's parent company Paramount had become heavy-handed in its oversight. His comments came in response to executive producer Bill Owens' resignation from the show last week.

Scott Pelley said that CBS News' parent company, Paramount Global, had begun to supervise 60 Minutes content "in new ways."
