CBS News says it is launching a streaming version of "60 Minutes" on the new Paramount Plus service, starting next week.
(CBS News via AP)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.
AdWhile “60 in 6” had shorter stories than the TV version of “60 Minutes,” the Paramount version will go longer.
