Les Moonves: CBS investigates report of 'misconduct' Moonves and his wife, CBS host Julie Chen

US television network CBS says it is investigating reports detailing allegations of sexual misconduct by its top executive Les Moonves.

The claims of unwanted kissing and touching have been published in the New Yorker magazine.

In a statement, CBS said it was looking into the allegations and would "take appropriate action".

Mr Moonves, 68, told the magazine that he "may have made some women uncomfortable" in the past.

"Those were mistakes, and I regret them immensely," he said. "But I always understood and respected... that 'no' means 'no,' and I have never misused my position to harm or hinder anyone's career."

CBS' stock price dropped by 6% on Friday as reports of the New Yorker article trickled out.
