Steve Kroft, a longtime correspondent for CBS News’ “60 Minutes” who retired in 2019, says the program “no longer exists” in the form the public has known. In an interview with New York Magazine, Kroft points to the extent of recent staffing changes, including firings that he characterizes as “too substantial,” as evidence that the show has been fundamentally altered. The comments come amid reported turmoil within CBS News and at “60 Minutes,” with other coverage describing personnel changes involving prominent figures, including Scott Pelley and others. Kroft’s remarks frame the situation as a shift in the show’s structure and identity rather than a routine update. Both outlets present Kroft’s assessment as his view of how the firings affect the program’s continuity. The reporting does not dispute that “60 Minutes” continues to operate under CBS News; it focuses on Kroft’s contention that the current version differs from the one associated with his earlier tenure.
