“60 Minutes,” the most successful American television broadcast in history, is approaching its 52nd season in September. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 is still a hit in 2019. “60 Minutes” makes Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 nearly every week and still averages nearly 11 million viewers – more than double the audience of its nearest network news magazine competitor and more than two million viewers ahead of the most-watched daily network evening news broadcast.

The broadcast’s segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com, on the CBS All Access app and the “60 Minutes” app. Its webcast, 60MinutesOvertime.com., offers content originally produced for the web only, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of “60 Minutes” stories and timely archival segments.
