60 Minutes host Scott Pelley has shared his verdict on the new owners of CBS News following concerns that the network’s reporting would be influenced by the corporate merger between Skydance and Paramount.

Speaking at the 2025 Walter Cronkite Awards on Friday (December 12), where he was honored alongside comedian Jon Stewart and MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow, Pelley admitted there were “concerns” about what the merger meant for 60 Minutes and whether it would change the types of stories they reported.
