Pelley's statement came after Bill Owens, the show's executive producer, abruptly resigned last week, saying he had lost the freedom to run the show independently.
“60 Minutes” correspondent 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. Pelley made his comments at the end of the evening’s CBS News telecast, saying that in quitting, Owens proved he was the right person for the job. “It was hard on him and it was hard on us,” Pelley said. “But he did it for us — and you.” His on-air statement was an unusual peek behind the scenes at the sort of inner turmoil that viewers seldom get the opportunity to see.
