60 Minutes cuts ad time

by Adam Finley, posted Oct 19th 2005 5:53PM

60 Minutes60 Minutes might actually be closer to sixty minutes long this Sunday. The iconic news program will have only one sponsor, Philips Electronics. Two brief ads from Philps, along with spots for CBS shows and ads from local markets will result in about six and a half minutes of ad time, or about half of what the show usually utilizes, providing "more content and less clutter," according to executive producer Jeff Fagen. Hopefully this will also give Andy Rooney more time to complain about herbal shampoo.

October 25, 2005 Dear 60 Minutes and Phillips Corporation We thought we had died and gone to heaven! Short Commercials! We are still pinching ourselves. And, on top of that a terrific show. Thank you, thank you thank you. Elsa and Leif Rode
