LOS ANGELES — Veteran journalist Scott Pelley has signed with Creative Artists Agency following his recent termination from CBS News and "60 Minutes," marking a new chapter in his distinguished career after more than 35 years with the network.

Pelley's departure from CBS came after a reported confrontation with new "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton. The incident led to his contract being terminated, with Bilton citing an inability to find a path forward together.

The 51-time Emmy winner's move to CAA places him alongside several former "60 Minutes" colleagues, including Lesley Stahl, Bill Owens, Cecilia Vega and Tanya Simon. The agency also represents CNN's Anderson Cooper, who recently stepped away from the program.

Pelley's departure reflects broader changes at CBS News under new leadership. Multiple correspondents have exited the prestigious newsmagazine in the past year, raising questions about the program's direction and editorial standards.

Pelley's career at CBS spanned more than three decades, during which he served as anchor of "CBS Evening News" and a correspondent for "60 Minutes." His reporting covered major events including wars, natural disasters and political developments.

The journalist's work earned him numerous accolades, including multiple Emmy........
