A January 2021 investigation by the "Los Angeles Times" based on complaints to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission revealed that, as part of the 2011 transaction by which Pascucci sold WLNY-TV to CBS, Peter Dunn, the head of CBS Television Stations, gained the use of a CBS-paid membership to the exclusive Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, which Pascucci owns and which gave Dunn connections to billionaires such as fellow member Stephen Ross. Dunn was revealed to have treated this membership as a personal perk of the sale; per the "Los Angeles Times", a colleague, CBS Entertainment Group chief operating officer Bryon Rubin, joked about the WLNY purchase as "the acquisition of our golf membership ... I mean TV station" on a private call in December 2020. The investigation, which also raised concerns about alleged racist, sexist and homophobic comments and the work environment at CBS-owned KYW-TV in Philadelphia, led to the network placing Dunn and Steve Friend, the senior vice president of news for the station group, on administrative leave.
