CBS is planning to supercharge the long-running newsmagazine 60 Minutes for its 57th season, giving it additional time on the broadcast network and adding a slew of digital spinoffs, including a podcast and a Fast (free, ad-supported streaming) channel.
According to 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens, “The first thing we wanted to do was make sure that the bar was going to be as high for anything we do, wherever we put it out, as it is for the Sunday show.”
In digital, that means CBS News correspondent Seth Doane will lead a new podcast extension called 60 Minutes: A Second Look, which will dig into the show’s archives to unearth never-before-heard interviews, as well as conversations with the correspondents and subjects. Among the episodes are a look at Saturday Night Live (including never-heard audio from creator Lorne Michaels), and reporting on Taylor Swift, featuring a conversation that took...

You’ll need more than an hour a week this season to really experience “60 Minutes.”

CBS News is also debuting “60 Minutes: A Second Look,” a 12-episode audio series hosted by CBS News correspondent Seth Doane that gives listeners access to a vault of stories, along with never-before-aired material and interviews with the producers and correspondents who reported and assembled the material. The streaming channel is available Thursday on Paramount+, Pluto and CBS News digital venues while the audio show begins September 17.
There’s also a special edition of the program slated for Monday, October 7, that will offer new reporting on both the Republican and Democratic candidates.

The actress Mia Farrow recently spoke about her late ex-husband, Frank Sinatra. Describing him to CBS Sunday Morning on 1 September, along with her friend and fellow stage and screen star, Patti LuPone, Farrow, to whom Sinatra was married from 1966 to 1968.
When she spoke with the journalist Seth Doane, the 79-year-old actress pointed out that Sinatra was Sicilian, and compared his ethnicity to LuPone’s. “Like Patti, he was Sicilian,” she said with a laugh, sitting beside LuPone, who is 75. “But unlike Patti, he had a temper.”
Farrow, who was almost three decades younger than Sinatra, described him as “so compassionate and shy,” and someone who was always “readily available” to her, more so than anyone else she had ever known.
Despite their marriage ending in 1968, Farrow revealed that their bond transformed into a lasting friendship that continued until Sinatra’s death in 1998.

Unlike a lot of Hollywood, Mia Farrow doesn’t seem to have a problem with actors working with her ex-husband, Woody Allen.
The actress appeared on CBS Sunday Morning alongside her The Roommate co-star Patti LuPone ahead of the Broadway show’s opening night on Sept. 12. While discussing her life, Farrow’s relationship with Allen came up, as well as the accusations that he molested their adopted then-7-year-old daughter, Dylan Farrow.
Farrow and Allen worked together on 13 films. When CBS News correspondent Seth Doane asked her if she was able to separate her experience as an actor in those films from the “trials and tribulations” that followed, she said she was.
“Oh yeah, yeah,” Farrow said. “And I completely understand if an actor decides to work with him. I’m not one who’d say, ‘Oh, they shouldn’t.'”
The actress told the news network that she is “at peace” today,...

CBS News’ venerable “60 Minutes” is creating a time machine, of sorts.
The long-running newsmagazine will form the bulk of a new channel at Pluto TV, the ad-supported streaming outlet that is, like CBS News, part of Paramount Global. The streaming channel is expected to launch sometime this year, Bill Owens, executive producer of the show, told staffers Thursday.
“The channel will allow us to share our broadcast and historic archive with the wider world,” Owens told employees in a memo. Nicole Young, a longtime producer who works with “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, will oversee the new venture, which will potentially let consumers sample decades of “60 Minutes” reports, whether they encompass a Mike Wallace investigation, an Ed Bradley interview with Bob Dylan, or Lesley Stahl’s various exchanges with former President Donald Trump.

The clock has stopped ticking for “60 Minutes Plus,” the streaming spinoff of the venerable CBS News mainstay that was once envisioned as a means of introducing the next generation of viewers to the popular Sunday newsmagazine that has been broadcasting for more than half a century.
Staffers were informed of the decision Thursday morning, according to people familiar with the matter. The company expects to work with employees to find other jobs within ViacomCBS and executives remain committed to making news programming a central part of Paramount Plus, which has been the most recent home of the new show.

Billy Porter wears many hats: Tony-, Emmy-, and Grammy-winning actor, singer, and fashion icon, but above all else, he is indestructible. Ahead of his new memoir, Unprotected, which comes out later this month, Billy is opening up about how a trauma-filled childhood helped to fuel his art and purpose. In an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, Billy shared that he never imagined his life unfolding the way that it has, especially as a kid who was repeatedly bullied and beaten by classmates. "I was born queer. I was born gay, and I was effeminate. And it was always the torment, like, having to go to school every day; 'So what's gonna happen today?' Until fifth grade talent show," Billy said to CBS News correspondent Seth Doane. "And then all of a sudden it was like, 'Oh, well, you know, leave him alone - he can sing!

ABC News executive Barbara Fedida will not return to the Disney-owned unit following an investigation into allegations of insensitive behavior and her treatment of employees, according to a person familiar with the matter,
Staffers were notified of the matter Monday in a memo from Peter Rice, chairman of Walt Disney Television. “The investigation substantiated that Ms. Fedida did make some of the unacceptable racially insensitive comments attributed to her.

ABC News said it placed one of its senior executives on administrative leave after a Huffington Post report detailed alleged complaints about her behavior lodged by staffers to the human-resources department.
Barbara Fedida joined ABC News for a second stint when Ben Sherwood, the former president of the division, brought her aboard in 2011 as senior vice president for talent and business. As part of that role, she had a strong influence in determining who ABC News hired and the career paths of many of the news operation’s journalists and correspondents. She has over the years been seen by staffers as an aide to the unit’s top managers, acting as a lieutenant of sorts to Sherwood and other senior ABC News executives. She currently reports to ABC News President James Goldston.

You won’t need an hour to watch “60 Minutes” this summer.
The venerable CBS Sunday newsmagazine will soon end its current TV season, but it is about to start a whole new cycle on Quibi, the short-form mobile-video service that could use the link to one of TV’s best-known programs to lure subscribers. In the last few minutes of Sunday’s broadcast on CBS, viewers will see scenes from the first “60 in 6,” the latest extension of the long-running program.
“It’s an opportunity for us to get our journalism in front of people who probably see ’60 Minutes’ when they are giving their mother and father a kiss and going out to see their friends,” says Bill Owens, the executive producer of the show, in an interview. “Let’s reach them where they are,” he adds, to build an interest in the show in all its forms.

Robin Roberts, one of the most familiar faces in morning-tv news, will start to co-anchor ABC’s “Good Morning America” from home, after a doctor recommended she do so due to her medical history and the nation’s continuing struggle with the spread of coronavirus
Roberts has no symptoms and is in good health, but has grappled in years past with myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disease, and took time off from the show in late 2012 and early 2013 for a bone-marrow transplant. “It’s hard to leave because you want the normalcy. You want it not just for yourself, but for your viewers,” Roberts said Tuesday in what will be her last broadcast for the time being from the Times Square Studios that house “Gma” production in New York. She added: “I’ll be able to keep my slippers on the whole morning.”

Scott Pelley once found himself in the kind of terrible situation that would prompt most people to abandon him immediately. Not Bill Owens.
CBS News veteran Pelley had traveled to Iraq in 2003 with a production team in tow, including a familiar face: longtime producer Bill Owens. Pelley and Owens had covered the White House together in an earlier era. They had journeyed to Iraq and embedded with U.S. Marines under fire. Yet as an explosive detonated overhead, soldiers believed they were under chemical attack. Pelley noticed – too late – that he had left his gas mask behind in the team’s vehicle.
“I turned, and Bill, who had been maybe 50 yards away, immediately saw what the problem was, grabbed my gas mask and sprinted into the fire fight to get it to me,” Pelley recounts. “It turned out the shell that exploded over our heads was not a chemical weapon. But he didn’t know that.

Watching TV news, it’s obvious that coronavirus has led to small but significant changes on set. What’s less obvious is what’s happening behind the scenes: Outlets have sent large swaths of their employees home to work remotely amid the spread of the coronavirus.
NBC hosts Al Roker and Craig Melvin didn’t appear on “Today” Monday after a staffer tested positive for coronavirus, but the rest of the cast stayed behind to carry on and explain their absence. CBS News’ Seth Doane spoke on the network’s programming Monday about his own diagnosis. He later tweeted about why he’s doing on-air appearances instead of just laying low: “I thought it was important to be open about testing positive for #COVIDー19 – This is a serious virus with possibly deadly consequences.. and even if you only have mild symptoms (like me) it’s essential we take quarantine seriously...

Seth Doane was in town to see a concert. Chances are he’ll encounter a lot more.
The CBS News correspondent earlier Tuesday found himself in the Syrian city of Aleppo, where a celebration has been scheduled for a Syrian “Independence Day.” People “are handing out Syrian flags,” says Doane.

He and his team have been reporting from inside Syria since last week and were in Damascus as the coalition airstrikes happened on Friday.
