CBS's "60 Minutes" premieres to lowest audience in 25 years
The Daily Beast reported on September 15 that the season-59 premiere of CBS News' "60 Minutes" attracted about 7. 9 million viewers, the lowest audience for the program in 25 years. Earlier, CBS News executives circulated internal memos—one praised the newsroom staff and outlined upcoming stories (The Hollywood Reporter), another urged the team to promote the launch (TheWrap).
The show aired on September 13, featuring regular anchors, new contributors and a segment on artificial intelligence, while omitting mention of recent staff dismissals (USA Today). The Hollywood Reporter noted the launch showed only modest changes after the appointment of new CBS News leadership.
