Telly’s Take
Wondering if 60 Minutes will be cancelled or renewed for season 51 seems a bit silly. This venerable CBS TV series remains a Sunday night staple. Still, networks use the ratings beyond cancellation and renewal decisions. They also depend on them to help determine when a show could use some retooling. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsen ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any 60 Minutes cancellation and renewal news.
