From the supplier: '60 Minutes' is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 1993 after having revolutionized the broadcast journalism industry. It is the only program to have ranked number one in three separate decades, and has enjoyed top ten Nielsen ratings for 16 consecutive seasons. The program is one of the most profitable in history and is estimated to earn CBS between $50 and $70 million per year. '60 Minutes' formats its segments as detective pieces and casts its reporters as the dedicated investigators. This approach has caused controversy by making alleged victims out of innocent subjects. '60 Minutes' is produced by Don Hewitt.
