The Clock Is Ticking to Pull Off an Entirely New ‘60 Minutes’ - The Hollywood Reporter
CBS News is undergoing a major overhaul of its flagship program '60 Minutes' under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. The network is attempting to maintain its status as the most-watched news program while navigating significant staff turnover and leadership changes.
Why it matters
The success of this reboot is critical for the reputation and viewership of CBS News during a period of industry-wide media upheaval.
Led by new EP Nick Bilton, the venerable newsmagazine is expected to have a "banger" of a first episode. Can the show hold it together all season amid the upheaval?
In the early days of CBS News , Edward R. Murrow led programs like Person to Person and See It Now from CBS’ Manhattan studios in Grand Central Terminal.
The network would eventually depart Grand Central for the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th street (what was once the CBS space in the train terminal is now a tennis club), but the network’s history in the building is the stuff of news lore.
