Do not fill this in! ==International versions== ===Australia=== {{Main|60 Minutes (Australian TV program)}} The Australian version of ''60 Minutes'' premiered on February 11, 1979. It still airs each Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. on the [[Nine Network]] and affiliates. Although Nine Network has the rights to the format, {{as of|2007|lc=y}}, it does not have rights to stories from the U.S. program, which is owned by competitor [[10 News First|10 News Australia]] after [[Network Ten]]'s acquisition by CBS in 2017. Nevertheless, stories from the flagship ''60 Minutes'' program in the U.S. often air on the Australian program by subleasing them from Ten. In 1981, ''60 Minutes'' won a [[Logie Award]] for their investigation of lethal abuses at the Chelmsford psychiatric hospital in [[Sydney]].<ref name="1978-1981">{{cite web|url=http://www.australiantelevision.net/awards/logie1978_81.html|title=1978–1981 Logie Awards|publisher=Australiantelevision.net|access-date=June 21, 2020}}</ref><ref name="winners">{{cite web|url=https://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-logie-awards/winners/article/-/5400980/1981/ |title=1981 – The Logie Awards |publisher=[[Yahoo!7]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128195506/https://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-logie-awards/winners/article/-/5400980/1981/ |archive-date=January 28, 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> ===Germany=== In the mid-1980s, an edited version (approx. 30 minutes in length) of the U.S. broadcast edition of ''60 Minutes'', entitled "60 Minutes: CBS im Dritten" ("60 Minutes: CBS on Channel 3") was shown for a time on [[WDR Fernsehen|Westdeutsches Fernsehen]]{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} (regional channels were also called "Channel 3" to distinguish it from ARD and ZDF, the two national channels at the time). This version retained the English-language track of the original, but also featured German dubbing. ===New Zealand=== {{Main|60 Minutes (New Zealand TV program)}} The New Zealand version of ''60 Minutes'' has aired on national television since 1989, when it was originally launched on [[TV3 (New Zealand)|TV3]]. In 1992, the rights were acquired by [[TVNZ]], who began broadcasting it in 1993. The network aired the program for nine years before dropping it in 2002 for its own program, entitled ''Sunday'', which is currently the highest-rated current affairs show broadcast on New Zealand television, followed by ''[[20/20 (New Zealand television series)|20/20]]''. ''60 Minutes'' was broadcast by rival network TV3, before switching to the Sky Television owned Prime channel in 2013, when the contract changed hands. ===Brazil=== {{confusing|section|date = August 2023}} In 1992, the [[GNT]] channel (now [[GloboNews]]) brought its original version with dubbed subtitles from that country. And later, in 2004, Rede Bandeirantes, planned a licensed localized version, but the plan was cancelled. And even so that year, it returned as a frame, i.e. a rubric in the program ''[[Domingo Espetacular]]'' on [[Rede Record]], a competitor of [[Rede Globo]]'s program ''[[Fantástico]]''. ===Portugal=== [[SIC Notícias]] acquired the broadcasting rights to the program in 2001. The original episodes were shown in [[Portugal]] with introductory and final comments by journalist [[Mário Crespo]], who conducted the program until 2014. It is presently hosted by anchors of the aforementioned network on a rotational basis, who eventually adopted the previous model. ===Chile=== The news program of [[Televisión Nacional de Chile|National Broadcasting of Chile (TVN)]], the public television network in that country, was named ''60 Minutos'' ("60 Minutes") from 1975 to 1988, but the program had no association with the US version and no investigative reporting.{{Citation needed|date=November 2013}} ===Other versions=== * A [[Mexico|Mexican]] version, which featured [[Juan Ruiz Healy]] serving as anchor, aired in the late 1970s and 1980s.<ref>{{Citation |title=60 Minutos |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0772303/ |type=Documentary, News |publisher=Televisa S.A. de C.V. |access-date=2023-01-23}}</ref> * A [[Peru]]vian version aired in the early 1980s, called ''60 Minutos''. However, in the late 1980s there was also a similarly named series, but unrelated to the series produced by CBS News. * The [[Japan]]ese version, ''CBS Document'', aired from 1988 to 2010. Its primary presenter was [[Peter Barakan]]. It continued in a slightly different format, under the name ''CBS 60 Minutes'', until 2014; Barakan hosted this version as well. * Edited reruns of ''60 Minutes'' interviews have aired on various cable channels in the United States, including [[TV Land]] and [[ESPN Classic]]. * In [[Thailand]], ''60 Minutes (Thailand)'' was broadcast on [[Modernine TV|TV 9]] (from 1995 to 1997) and [[Channel 7 (Thailand)|BBTV Channel 7]] (from 1999 to 2001). * In [[Catalonia]], ''60 Minutes'' has been broadcast by [[TV3 (Catalonia)]] for 27 seasons. * In [[France]], [[M6 (TV channel)|M6]] launched ''66 minutes'' in 2006, a television magazine with a similar concept and format.<ref>{{Citation |title=66 minutes |date=2006-10-01 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7592984/ |type=News |publisher=C.
