    How does 60 Minutes Australia relate to 60 Minutes US in terms of ownership like CBS/paramount and their ownership and producers?

    I used to like 60 Minutes in the US, but since the lawsuit settlement with Trump and other CBS acquiescing (Colbert) I’m not sure if I trust their news anymore not to be full of Trump propaganda.

      To be honest, I was more worried it’d be like the relationship between Sky News UK and Sky News Australia 💀

      They are not connected, only through licenced format and risk journalistic content independently. 60 Minutes Australia is produced by Nine Network, both programs from CBS and 9 Network license the “60 Minutes” format from Paramount Global, they operate independently in terms of editorial control, production, and content.
