60 in 6 will bite off stories in six-minute episodes for easy mobile consumption.

"Seth has covered some of the most important stories of the last decade, and I can’t wait for him to start reporting for 60 in 6,” said Bill Owens, 60 Minutes executive producer. “Seth’s approach to telling stories is a perfect match for what we will do on Quibi.”
