Scott Pelley 'Out' Of 'CBS Evening News' Amid Rumored Friction With Network Prez
May 31 2017, Updated 1:05 p.m. ET
Scott Pelley has officially been moved out of CBS Evening News after months of buzz, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to Page Six, the anchor will shift permanently over to 60 Minutes.
Insiders told the publication that CBS News president David Rhodes "is making Pelley move to 60 Minutes," and that the two "don't get on."
"There's also been friction between him and Rhodes," another source revealed.
"Pelley was pushed out of the Evening News. It's been coming for a long time," another insider said. "This could have been handled better — Pelley is away on a story, and they're cleaning out his office. It's not the correct way to treat the face of CBS News."
No replacement has yet been named, but CBS has a deep bench of anchors who can fill in.
