NEW YORK—For the last few years of its life, HBO’s “Real Sports” taped its episodes on the same Manhattan block where CBS' “60 Minutes” resides. They shared a sensibility along with a neighborhood.

But while “60 Minutes” rolls along in its sixth decade, the monthly sports magazine helmed by Bryant Gumbel is calling it quits in its 29th year. The final, 90-minute episode premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. Eastern.
