Tanya Simon, who has worked on the show for over two decades, will take over at a time of significant change for the network.

Minutes has named its next executive producer, three months after its former boss abruptly quit in protest. Tanya Simon—daughter of the show’s legendary correspondent Bob Simon—will become the first woman to run the TV news magazine and just the fourth person to hold the role since the CBS show debuted in 1968.

Paramount Global's CBS News on Thursday appointed Tanya Simon as the executive producer of its prime time news magazine broadcast "60 Minutes", in place of Bill Owens, who had stepped down citing lack of editorial independence.
