What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the CBS television network, 60 Minutes was created by Don Hewitt and Bill Leonard in 1968. The longest-running network series in primetime, the program features investigative reports, interviews, human interest segments, and news-maker profiles. Three long-form news stories typically air each episode. The CBS News correspondents and contributors include Lesley Stahl, John Dickerson, Scott Pelley, Bill Whitaker, Anderson Cooper, Norah O’Donnell, Sharyn Alfonsi, L. Jon Wertheim, Bill Owens, and Tanya Simon.
 

Season 54 Ratings

The 54th season of 60 Minutes averaged a 0.91 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.36 million viewers. Compared to season 53, that’s down by 13% in the demo and down by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
