Pelley is a decades-long CBS News veteran and former anchor of the CBS Evening News. His firing comes amid a broader upheaval at “60 Minutes” after CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, appointed by David Ellison, the tech scion who took control of CBS parent company Paramount in a multibillion-dollar merger, dismissed top producers and correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega in what colleagues called “Black Thursday.”<\/p>\n

“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear,” Nick Bilton, the executive producer of “60 Minutes,” wrote in a termination letter to Pelley. Journalist Dylan Byers shared the letter on X.<\/p>\n

“I have heard you, and I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. (“CBS”) to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately,” Bilton wrote.<\/p>\n

Pelley reportedly erupted at Weiss during a heated meeting and told her she was “murdering 60 Minutes” after she fired Alfonsi and others. He also reportedly raked Bilton over the coals.<\/p>\n

“You hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me,” Bilton wrote, saying Pelley “chose to ambush” him.<\/p>\n
