What’s This TV Show About?

A newsmagazine series airing on the CBS television network, the 60 Minutes TV show was created by Don Hewitt and Bill Leonard in 1968. The longest-running series in network 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 Sharyn Alfonsi, L. Jon Wertheim, Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, Cecilia Vega, and Anderson Cooper.
 

Season 56 Ratings

The 56th season of 60 Minutes averaged a 0.68 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.52 million viewers. Compared to season 55, that’s down by 18% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes 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.

Telly’s Take

Will CBS cancel or renew 60 Minutes for season 57? The series has been on the air for more than five decades and continues to be one of the network’s highest-rated series (at least partly because it sometimes has a football lead-in). I do not doubt that it will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on 60 Minutes cancellation or renewal news.
