'60 Minutes' streaming spinoff is shuttered by Paramount+

NEW YORK (AP) — The Paramount+ streaming service said Thursday that it is shutting down its spinoff version of "60 Minutes" less than a year after its launch.

While the venerable newsmagazine continues to be one of the most popular shows on television, it's now 0-for-2 in recent attempts to expand into different platforms.

The "60 Minutes+" streaming show was itself a repurposing of "60 in 6," a program on the ill-fated Quibi platform that ended when the service did. It used some of the same staff members.

Paramount+ offered no immediate reason for the shutdown. "60 Minutes+," which sought to expose the brand to a younger and more diverse audience, produced some 30 episodes since its debut on March 4, 2021.
