By: Caryn Robbins
CBS's 60 MINUTES will not be broadcast on Sun. Feb. 7 due to CBS SPORTS coverage of SUPER BOWL 50 featuring the Carolina Panthers vs. the Denver Broncos. Follow 60 MINUTES on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
60 MINUTES, the most successful television broadcast in history, began its 47th season in September 2014. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast begun in 1968 is still a hit in 2015, making Nielsen's Top 10 list nine consecutive weeks in the fall of 2014. Over the 2013-2014 season, 60 MINUTES continued its dominance as the number-one news program, drawing an average of 12.2 million viewers per week - almost twice the audience of its nearest network news magazine competitor and three million viewers ahead of the most-watched daily network evening news broadcast. The average audience for a 60 MINUTES broadcast still dwarfs the biggest audiences drawn by cable news programs.Recent Articles
