About Us

60 Minutes, the most successful television broadcast in history, begins its 45th season in September 2012. 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 2012, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10. Over the 2011-12 season, 60 Minutes continued its dominance as the number-one news program, drawing an average of over 13 million viewers per week - more than any other network news program and twice the audiences of its network news magazine competitors. The average audience for a 60 Minutes broadcast still dwarfs the biggest audiences drawn by cable news programs.

About a million more people listen to the 60 Minutes radio simulcast in several major cities and tens of thousands each week experience 60 Minutes online. The broadcast's segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com, while a web show 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. The broadcast's content can also be watched on the iPad, iPhone, iPod and iPod touch; its application is one of the most popular paid apps in the App Store.

60 Minutes has won more Emmy Awards than any other primetime broadcast, including a special Lifetime Achievement Emmy. It has also won every major broadcast journalism award over its tenure, including 18 Peabody and 14 DuPont Columbia University awards for excellence in television broadcasting. Other distinguished awards won multiple times include the George Polk, RTNDA Edward R. Murrow , Investigative Reporters and Editors, RFK Journalism, Sigma Delta Chi and Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Reporting.

by KBhomeDisaster April 16, 2013 12:00 AM EDT: You did a segment a while back on KB Home building on bombs. Things have become so much worse and we really need your help. KB Home has committed fraud and deceptive practices against thousands of us. My new home is unlivable and I have lost everything due to their unethical practices. We have had tons of local coverage and we need your help now. Please see www.thekbhome.com and my house at www.kbhomedisaster.com; Reply to this comment


by HeatherHallIllnois February 18, 2013 3:21 PM EST: Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the very inspiring story about Mercy Ships Africa. Not only was the story great, but it was so very nice to see Evangelical Christians portrayed honestly in a documentary fashion in the midst of their Christian work. This was in sharp contrast to the the negative and biased stereotypes commonly seen in the media. That probably actually took courage on your part. Please -- more uplifting stories of human caring in your programming in the future.; Reply to this comment


by softballnews January 29, 2013 8:38 AM EST: I just finished watching your interview with the Pres Obama and Mrs. Clinton. WOW and you call yourself 60 Min.? I have not seen such a softball interview in some time. Its one thing to be biased, but Steve didn't ask a single question that was pressing. What about Benghazi? Like Mrs. Clinton said 'What does it matter". It does matter! 4 Americans were killed under their watch. For more than 2 weeks the White House and its staff LIED to the Americans on what had happened. If I was the producer of 60 Min, I would fire myself. This is not a NEWS program anymore.; Reply to this comment

by CBSCulp December 9, 2012 8:05 PM EST: I just saw Scott Pelley's hard hitting 60 Minutes story about Hugh Jackman. This is pathetic - we heard about how courageous jackman is to be an actor risking I don't know what to try to win Tony awards. He's an actor, and a talented one, but what is he doing that would challenge anyone's sensibility of what an actor should be doing?. CBS News has been at a low point for over a decade and it seems consistently to be lowering that standard even further.

Great job in avoiding coverage of the Benghazi Attacks and its subsequent coverups. I can understand your inability to see this as a major issue concerning our country. The importanc of this news story has indeed been so downplayed and under reported by this network that this will be the last time the letters cbs will appear on my computer screen and my television, goodbye, thanks for nothing you bunch of aiders and abettors.

by pontoof October 17, 2012 7:13 PM EDT: Dear Sir:
I enjoyed the 60 minutes story about the Houston Veterans Court last Sunday, but 60 minutes failed to give any credit to the very first veterans court in Buffalo NY in January 2008, which was created by Judge Robert Russell.

This segment seems to imply the veterans court model originated in Houston, which is not accurate.

Judge Russell and his team of dedicated volunteers created this program in 2008. Today there are 95 veterans courts nationwide. The Buffalo team not only launched this program, but also has supported other courts (including Houston's) with training, but this was not reported in your story.

This is a great program that supports veterans, but I was disappointed in the quality and accuracy of 60 Minutes reporting.

Respectfully yours,
Kelly O'Connor, Washington DC; Reply to this comment


by Retired009 October 1, 2012 11:22 AM EDT: I can't believe you "wasted" prime time on Schwarzenegger! What is it that you think is so important about him that we would want to know? Surely there are more important, relevant, and interesting subjects in this time of national/international crisis....the rise of extremeism, loss of US technology capability, the economy, our military capability (and treatment of our military personnel/families), decay of South America, the Warlords of Africa, emerging SE Asia.....never mind the millions of individuals who are quietly doing yoman work in helping others throughout the world. Your Producer should be ashamed.; Reply to this comment

I watched Leslie Stahl's interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger this evening, Sept 30. If you interview him in the future, I will not be watching. He is a pig. He appeared to have no remorse about what he has done or the lives he has negatively impacted with his behavior. Since I have never been a fan of his, I will not purchase his book and will continue not watching any movies in which he has a part.

by ojaivalleylaw October 1, 2012 5:20 PM EDT: I was initially astonished that so much time would be wasted on that absolutely horrible person. Then I heard on another news broadcast the relationship of the publisher of the book with CBS. 60 Minutes HAD to give that piece of trash a big portion of the program ... he wants the profits from the book sale. Well, I know of know one who is intelligent enough to be able to read who would buy that garbage.


by 1helper September 11, 2012 5:32 AM EDT: I get tired of hearing the bad stories about Caregivers. Please do a story on what really goes on in some Group Homes and how Caregivers are treated by their bosses. See what the Clients go through and how restricted they are on how much food they can eat. Find out the truth. See if you would want to end up in one of these homes. I know the truth. I use to think employees had rights. I never thought I would work for a place that would make up so many lies just to get you fired. Or ever witness someone getting injured and then being told that she was getting wrote up for it. I always thought that every company was responsible for giving you time for lunch and breaks. Not this company. No paid breaks. No 30 minute lunch. And guess who takes care of this joke of a company? The state. And Boli doesn't protect the employees either. In their eyes, you must have been a bad employee. When does it stop? Who wants to fight back, anyone?? The Clients do not deserve to lose good caregivers while the bad caregivers get to keep their jobs. While the no good boss sits in her cubby hole office, never witnessing what goes on in the home. People need to hear this story before its too late. You want to know where your money is going? Down a rat hole with companies like this.; Reply to this comment
