'60 MINUTES' TO RELEASE OBAMA DVD: 'Obama All Access' to cover President-elect's path to the White House.
*The folks at "60 Minutes" have announced plans to release a special edition DVD that chronicles President-elect Barack Obama's history-making road to the White House.
The release, titled "Obama All Access," is part of CBS' attempt to use the "60 Minutes" brand to market news-themed DVDs, which have never sold as much as movies or television dramas released in the format.
"We're always looking for the right opportunity to do this, and you couldn't find a better example than the Barack Obama story," said Jeff Fager, executive producer of "60 Minutes."
"Obama: All Access," due the first week of February, is the first time "60 Minutes" has released a special edition DVD with material that never aired on TV which, combined with its four-hour length, sets the DVD apart from other "60 Minutes" discs sold in the past two years, network executives said. Those DVDs contained the latest "60 Minutes" stories, but only as they appeared on the program.
The DVD will show Obama's complete inaugural speech, and other notable campaign speeches. Other features include his first post-election TV interview on "60 Minutes," which drew 25 million viewers, and previously unaired footage such as him talking about Abraham Lincoln in the Illinois statehouse.
The disc also shows Obama behind-the-scenes with family.
