Amid promises of change, CBS News replaced its embattled “60 Minutes” executive producer — who oversaw the edited Kamala Harris interview — with another registered Democrat. CBS News announced Thursday that “60 Minutes” interim executive producer Tanya Simon would become the official executive producer,

Tanya Simon is the daughter of Bob Simon, a former 60 Minutes correspondent. She will be the first female executive producer in the program’s 57 years.

CBS News has named Tanya Simon the new executive producer of its flagship newsmagazine 60 Minutes. Simon succeeds Bill Owens, who resigned as EP earlier this year, citing corporate interference that meant “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,” Owens told staff. Simon was named interim EP following his exit.

The network is not hiring an outsider to helm “60 Minutes” as the program’s correspondents feared might happen.
