Some of the latest game-changing news out of CBS has concerned the cancellations of two of its entertainment programs, but April of the 2026 TV schedule is starting out with potential bad news for longtime CBS News program 60 Minutes. More major layoffs may be on the way to affect on-camera talent and behind-the-scenes producers, allegedly tied to concerns voiced by head honcho Bari Weiss that programming has gone “soft.”
The news comes months after Weiss became more of a household name for pulling a 60 Minutes segment about the Trump Administration’s reported deportation of migrants to an El Salvador CECOT prison. Starting in June, The New York Post reports that a major shakeup is going to happen to 60 Minutes that affects some of the biggest names.
