Line 11:
Outside of the trademark ticking stopwatch, the program has absolutely no [[Background Music]] of any form, which is a rarity in any genre of American television, where BGM is an absolute requirement to set a scene or tenor, letting the stories stand solely on the reporting and interviews.
It has seasons like most of American television, so in the off season they air partial re-runs, where they take articles run before and modify them slightly, perhaps slightly updating them (usually in the intro and ending commentaries). However, despite being in a ''really'' crummy timeslot for decades (7 PM Sundays) the only time it was pre-empted for sports was when CBS had the Olympics. If an NFL game runs late, ''60 Minutes'' is shown in its entirety and the rest of the [[Prime Time]] lineup timeshifted back as long as necessary, though in some time zones this isn't necessary, as football is usually over by the time the show is supposed to start. Toronto's CIII-TV ''used'' to simulcast the US version of ''60 Minutes'', which caused scheduling to break badly whenever the US feed was delayed by sports running into overtime. It no longer carries the programme. Australia (since 1979) and New Zealand (since 1993) have their own localised versions of ''60 Minutes'', which are produced independently.
