Posted in: Uncategorized
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Don Hewitt, the CBS executive who established one of TV's most durable genres — the newsmagazine — and one of its most hallowed programs, "60 Minutes," died Aug. 19 at the age of 86 from pancreatic cancer. In 1980, "60 Minutes" was the No. 1 program, a feat it would achieve five times, a record CBS said was only matched by "All in the Family" and "The Cosby Show."
