In a rare on-air rebuke April 27, longtime correspondent for the CBS newsmagazine Scott Pelley said the broadcaster's parent company Paramount had become heavy-handed in its oversight.

Almost a week after Bill Owens’ departure as executive producer, the 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley voiced his and his colleagues’ opinions on-air.

Scott Pelley paid tribute Sunday to Bill Owens, the show's executive producer who resigned last week, saying on the air that "none of us is happy" about the extra supervision that corporate leaders are imposing.
