Oprah Winfrey will be joining 60 Minutes this coming fall according to an announcement by CBS on Tuesday, Jan. 31. 60 Minutes Executive Producer Jeff Fager gushed:“There is only one Oprah Winfrey. She is a remarkable and talented woman with a level of integrity that sets her apart and makes her a perfect fit for '60 Minutes.’ I am thrilled that she will be bringing her unique and powerful voice to our broadcast.”This move will certainly boost 60 Minutes' ratings, which is already one of the highest rated programs on TV. Currently 30-second commercials in 60 Minutes sell for somewhere around $100,000-$120,000. For Oprah's debut show next fall CBS will probably up the price considerably.
