Scott Pelley is allocated from the CBS Evening News to 60 Minutes, according to The New York Post.
CBS’ “RANSOM” IS A HUGE FLOP
Pelley, who anchored the Evening News since 2011, is reportedly being moved to 60 Minutes full-time. He currently splits time between the journal and the Sunday newsmagazine, on which he was a correspondent since 2004.
The move is reportedly as a result of a combination of bad performance reviews (Pelley, the evening broadcast is in third place behind Lester Holt on NBC and David Muir on ABC) and voltage with CBS News president David Rhodes.
