NEW YORK - CBS News is launching a streaming version of “60 Minutes” on the new Paramount+ service, hoping to expose the durable brand to a younger and more diverse audience. The “60 Minutes+” program will debut March 4 with three separate episodes, the network announced Wednesday. For “60 Minutes+,” CBS is repurposing a team put together last year for a similar program, “60 in 6,” on the ill-fated Quibi platform. While “60 in 6” had shorter stories than the TV version of “60 Minutes,” the Paramount version will go longer. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
