CBS’s newsmagazine “60 Minutes” opens its 59th season on Sunday night, marking the program’s long-running return to CBS-TV.
Across the coverage provided, the season premiere is presented as an on-air start that does not directly reference any off-season turmoil involving the show. Instead of addressing behind-the-scenes issues in the opening broadcast, the program proceeds without a specific public acknowledgment tied to the situation reported during the break.
Both outlets note the same basic element of the premiere: viewers are not given a direct mention of the off-season turmoil during the program’s opening. With only these sources supplied, there is no additional detail on the nature of the turmoil or any formal changes to the broadcast beyond the absence of an on-air reference at the start of the new season.
