Since he has been in the news (https://www.wsj.com/articles/cbss-handling-of-les-moonves-accusations-hampered-by-battle-for-control-1536624692) lately for all of the wrong reasons (https://sports.yahoo.com/designing-women-creator-says-les-moonves-abuse-destroyed-career-happy-dance-professional-grave-171857649.html):

Angela Lansbury says "Murder, She Wrote" (https://www.fame10.com/entertainment/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-murder-she-wrote/?streamview=all) is being killed (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/MurderSheWrote), and she knows who's doing it.
Lansbury says CBS (https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/eye-eye-moonves-91004) is effectively pushing the long-running (https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/05/arts/television-why-some-series-achieve-long-happy-lives.html) mystery drama off the air (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/o0cdsj/why_does_cbs_hold_onto_ncis_but_dumped_murder_she/) by moving it from Sundays (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0653602/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv) to Thursdays (https://www.deseretnews.com/article/431586/ITS-THURSDAY-FOR-SURE-FOR-MURDER-SHE-WROTE.html). She said she has decided this is the show's last season.
Lansbury accused the network of abandoning the older viewers (https://world.wng.org/1998/07/why_tv_skews_yuppie) who watch the show (http://articles.latimes.com/1996-05-18/entertainment/ca-5447_1_angela-lansbury).
CBS Entertainment (https://www.refinery29.com/2018/07/205842/les-moonves-cbs-sexism-men-women-tv-programming) president (http://time.com/money/5351696/leslie-moonves-money-net-worth-sexual-misconduct/) Leslie Moonves (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1996/01/15/the-tv-column/a9f7d92a-3567-4247-a7fa-0748d2257f57/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1747d0d8693d) said Lansbury is welcome to remain at the network: "Short of moving `Murder, She Wrote' back to Sunday," he said, "there is nothing that I or CBS will not do for her."
Lansbury said she hopes to star in a TV musical next year called "Mrs. Santa Claus" - on a network other than CBS.

Les Moonves in 2011: "When I first got to CBS, the sexiest woman on the network was Angela Lansbury but fortunately we’re doing a little bit better than that now."
