The season premiere of the long-running news magazine "60 Minutes" drew a viewership of just under 8 million people on Sunday. This figure represents a significant 21 percent decrease compared to the same season premiere episode last year.
The decline in viewership for "60 Minutes" mirrors a broader trend observed in the ratings for the NFL lead-in programming, which also experienced a similar percentage drop. This suggests a potential shift in audience engagement with broadcast television or specific programming choices.
