Channel Nine’s 60 Minutes confirms story on Sydney Siege

60-minutesChannel Nine has signed an exclusive deal to interview many of the 10 hostages who survived the siege in the Lindt Cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place in December last year.

A Nine spokeperson confirmed 60 Minutes intends to broadcast a story about the siege, however declined to comment further adding “details will be revealed in due course”. They also declined to comment on questions around how much the hostages have been paid.

The Guardian has reported Channel Seven has signed several survivors for its Sunday Night program and Bauer Media’s Australian Women’s Weekly has an exclusive interview and a photo spread with one of the female survivors. However, a spokesperson for Bauer Media has told Mumbrella the story was inaccurate and the Women’s Weekly does not have any siege coverage planned.
