60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt.(may make newsmagazine a twice-weekly show)(Brief Article)

Broadcasting & Cable, June, 1998

60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt is willing to consider a twice-a-week format for the venerable news magazine, backing away from his previous rejection of the proposal by CBS chief Leslie Moonves. Hewitt's support is critical as CBS News President Andrew Heyward and Moonves discuss whether the concept is feasible.

No decision on another edition of 60 Minutes will be made until Moonves returns from vacation in a few weeks--and it might not be made until fall, CBS officials say. Hewitt is on vacation and could not be reached.
