Headline: OutKick, 1/19/2026
Bobby Burack reports:
Instead of airing the episode after an NFL game on CBS, which the network had the opportunity to do for more than a month, it waited until the first Sunday on which CBS did not carry an afternoon playoff matchup. Instead, the edition ran head to head with the Rams Bears game on NBC, which began at 6 p.m. Typically, "60 Minutes" concludes before NBC’s Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. begins.
As a result, the CECOT-centered episode will likely be one of the least watched of the year.
CBS will never admit to burying the episode. However, the network could have waited two more weeks and aired it on the Sunday before the Super Bowl, a weekend with no meaningful football games. Only a sucker would believe CBS coincidentally chose to air a controversial episode on the single Sunday when it would draw the smallest possible audience.
Not that it matters all that much, Bari. Millions of people have already seen the episode online.
