Les Moonves
Piper:
(Reuters) - U.S. broadcasting and media company CBS Corp (CBS.N) said on Friday it was investigating allegations of personal misconduct by its chief executive Leslie Moonves ahead of an upcoming New Yorker article that is expected to detail the claims.
“Upon the conclusion of that investigation, which involves recently reported allegations that go back several decades, the board will promptly review the findings and take appropriate action,” CBS said in a statement.
It was not clear when exactly the New Yorker would publish its story or what its contents would be. Moonves and the New Yorker did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The allegations come as Moonves is locked in a battle over control of CBS with the company’s largest shareholder, National Amusements Inc, owned by Shari Redstone and her father Sumner Redstone who proposed merging CBS with media company Viacom Inc (VIAB.O), also owned by National Amusements.

Maanca:
Looks like the Wheel of MeToo has landed on Moonves now.
BourkieBoy:
What will happen for TAR, Survivor and BB, if Moonves is sacked?
DavidJunior:
Depends on who takes his place, should he get sacked
This news is the most concerning regarding TAR for me, tbh

Imo nothing. CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl renews the shows and schedules them. He has more interest in their reality content than the last president. It was his idea to give TAR the Wednesday slot. His idea to renew CBB. Les looks over CBSTV's spending, ratings, and new show development.
