Veteran news anchor Chris Wallace, who is the son of 60 Minutes legend Mike Wallace and stepson of former CBS News president Bill Leonard, is now working for one of the investors of CBS’s new parent company and has repeatedly spoken with the network’s new owner.
In an interview with The New York Times, Wallace revealed that he recently became a senior adviser for news and media investments at RedBird Capital Partners, one of the top investors of Skydance Media, the company that recently bought CBS parent Paramount in an $8 billion merger.
