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.

He is a she.
Also, the problem in the era of #MeToo is that some of these claims are decades old, when social mores and attitudes were different. I'm not defending such abuses, but just pointing out that times have changed, and it is awkward and dangerous to apply contemporary attitudes on things that happened then. Also, it is possible such claims can't be validated. So exercise caution on this.

Les Moonves has been a huge supporter of TAR and has saved us more than once.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
I believe this is the article being quoted: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/08/06/les-moonves-and-cbs-face-allegations-of-sexual-misconduct?mbid=social_twitter
BourkieBoy:
Don't forget, Moonves also owns Channel Ten over here in Australia.
Could this mean that shows such as Australian Survivor and the rumoured TAR Australia 4 be affected, if is found guilty?
