CBS Board Meets Today on Moonves
The MeToo bomb was dropped on CBS boss Les Moonves on Friday and now the network has to decide how to proceed.
The CBS board had a planned meeting today and you can bet the Moonves' allegations have been moved to the top of the agenda.
The Washington Post writes that some CBS Corp. directors discussed over the weekend whether Chief Executive Leslie Moonves should step aside from the company pending its investigation into allegations he sexually harassed women, according to people familiar with the matter.
The board of CBS, which is scheduled to meet via conference call today in advance of its second-quarter earnings announcement Thursday, is expected to select a special committee to oversee the investigation, the people said. The board intends to make a broad inquiry into CBS’s workplace culture, not just the alleged behavior of Moonves, they said.
That should be one very interesting call.
