<P> The program sometimes does not start until after 7 : 00 p.m. Eastern , due largely to CBS ' live broadcast of NFL games . At the conclusion of an NFL game , 60 Minutes will air in its entirety . However , on the West Coast ( and all of the Mountain Time Zone ) , because the actual end of the live games is much earlier in the afternoon in comparison to the Eastern and Central time zones , 60 Minutes is always able to start at its normal start time of 7 : 00 p.m. Pacific Time , leaving affiliates free to broadcast local news , the CBS Evening News , and other local or syndicated programming leading up to 60 Minutes . The program 's success has also led CBS Sports to schedule events ( such as the final round of the Masters Tournament and the second round and regional final games of the NCAA Men 's Basketball Tournament ) leading into 60 Minutes and the rest of the network 's primetime lineup , thus ( again , except on the West Coast ) pre-empting the Sunday editions of the CBS Evening News and affiliates ' local newscasts . </P>
