The venerable CBS newsmagazine, entering its 57th season, will move firmly beyond its Sunday-evening model with the launch of a free ad-supported streaming channel devoted to its library of investigations, features and profiles — including Andy Rooney’s essays and Mike Wallace’s reports. 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. And the newsmagazine, which tested out 90-minute-long episodes last season, intends to bring them back again, with six such outings planned for the show between now and the end of 2024.
