Jeff Vaughn, 58, a veteran reporter with more than 30 years of experience, spent the last eight years as a news anchor at a CBS-owned Los Angeles affiliate.
Vaughn, an Emmy Award winner, was replaced by a younger minority news anchor in 2022 and has now filed a $5 million lawsuit against the network and Paramount Globe.

CBS decided that there were too many white males at CBS,
