None of my friends do, so far. I think the average young 60 Minutes viewer is probably awesome. I’m 21 and I watch 60 Minutes religiously!! None of my friends do, so far.

I'd say they really need to get back to hard core investigations rather than all the fluff stuff. Actually, I am older than 60 Minutes.

They lack any breakout of first-run versus repeats and 60 Minutes is a show that winds up airing *every* Sunday so it shows more reruns in its normal time slot than the typical show. 60 Minutes fares much better among 18-49 in first run airings, but a large part of that is due to NFL football as its lead-in the first several months of the season. Even with that, the median age of the viewer was ~61 last year, but they get so many viewers for original airings that they still perform well among 18-49 year olds (though likely heavily skewed 35-49!).
