CBS News' chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian will be a full-time correspondent for Showtime's upcoming 60 Minutes of Sports.

Keteyian will continue to contribute occasionally to CBS News daily broadcasts. From 1997-2006, he was a featured correspondent for HBO's Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel and a reporter for CBS' coverage of the NFL and college basketball. He returned to Real Sports in 2010.

In addition to Keteyian, the monthly news magazine will feature on-air talent from 60 Minutes and CBS Sports.

"Armen is the perfect correspondent for our new program," said Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and executive producer of 60 Minutes and co-executive producer of 60 Minutes Sports.  "He has the reporting experience in news, sports and at 60 Minutes to bring us high quality 60 Minutes stories for the new Showtime edition."

60 Minutes of Sports is scheduled to debut in January.
