Do not fill this in! ==Spin-offs== The main ''60 Minutes'' show has created a number of spin-offs over the years. ===''30 Minutes''=== {{Main|30 Minutes (TV program)}} ''30 Minutes'' was a news magazine aimed at children that was patterned after ''60 Minutes'', airing as the final program in CBS's Saturday morning lineup from 1978 to 1982. It was hosted by [[Christopher Glenn]] (who also served as the voice-over for the interstitial program ''[[In the News]]'' and was an anchor on the CBS Radio Network), along with Betsy Aaron (1978β1980) and Betty Ann Bowser (1980β1982). ===''60 Minutes More''=== ''60 Minutes More'' was a spin-off that ran for one season from 1996 to 1997 on the channel [[CBS Eye on People]]. The episodes featured popular stories from the past that were expanded with updates on the original story. Each episode featured three of these segments.<ref name="more">{{cite news|title=60 Minutes More|url=http://www.film.com/tv/60-minutes-more/21327868|publisher=Film.com|access-date=February 15, 2011}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> ===''60 Minutes II''=== {{Main|60 Minutes II}} In 1999, a second edition of ''60 Minutes'' was started in the United States, titled ''60 Minutes II''. This edition was later renamed ''60 Minutes'' for the fall of 2004 in an effort to sell it as a high-quality program, since some had sarcastically referred to it as ''60 Minutes, Jr.'' CBS News president [[Andrew Heyward]] said, "the [[Roman numeral]] II created some confusion on the part of the viewers and suggested a watered-down version".<ref>{{cite news|title='60 Minutes' times 2|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117905294.html?categoryid=14&cs=1|last=McClintoc|first=Pamela|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=May 19, 2004|access-date=May 22, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103014825/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117905294.html?categoryid=14&cs=1|archive-date=November 3, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, a widely known controversy which came to be known as "[[Killian documents controversy|Rathergate]]", regarding a report that aired on September 8, 2004, caused another name change. The program was retitled ''60 Minutes Wednesday'' both to differentiate itself and to avoid tarnishing the Sunday edition, as the editions were editorially independent from one another. It reverted to its original Roman numeral title on July 8, 2005, when the program moved to Fridays in an 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time slot to finish its run. The show aired its final broadcast on September 2, 2005. ===''60 Minutes on CNBC''=== In 2011, [[CNBC]] began airing a ''60 Minutes'' spin-off of its own, called ''60 Minutes on CNBC''. Hosted by Lesley Stahl and Steve Kroft, it aired updated business-related reports seen on the original broadcasts and offers footage that was not included when the segments first aired. It ended in 2015. ===''60 Minutes Sports''=== {{Main|60 Minutes Sports}} In 2013, CBS's sister [[premium television]] network [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]] premiered ''60 Minutes Sports'', a monthly spin-off focused on sports-related stories and classic interviews from the show's archives. Personalities from [[CBS Sports]] also contributed to the program; correspondents included [[Sharyn Alfonsi]] and [[Armen Keteyian]]. The spin-off was considered a competitor to [[HBO]]'s ''[[Real Sports]]''. It was cancelled in January 2017.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/tv/story/2012/09/13/60-minutes-plans-sports-version-for-showtime/57776812/1|title=60 Minutes plans sports version for Showtime|last=Levin|first=Gary|work=[[USA Today]]|date=September 13, 2012|access-date=September 20, 2012|archive-date=September 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120918070103/http://www.usatoday.com/life/tv/story/2012/09/13/60-minutes-plans-sports-version-for-showtime/57776812/1|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="lat-showtimecbs">{{Cite news|url=https://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/13/entertainment/la-et-ct-60-showtime-20120913|title=CBS and Showtime team up on '60 Minutes' sports magazine|last=Flint|first=Joe|date=September 13, 2012|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=September 11, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/60-minutes-sports-canceled/316402|title=60 Minutes Sports Canceled|website=[[Adweek|TVNewser]]|date=January 7, 2017 |access-date=September 11, 2017}}</ref> ===''60 in 6''=== In June 2020, the show launched ''60 in 6'' on [[Quibi]], featuring original weekly 6-minute programs.
