ABC is shaking things up. Variety reports the network is changing the format of their long-running TV show 20/20.
Hosted by Amy Robach and David Muir, the news magazine focuses on in-depth human interest stories. Recently, the program has featured stories about Lorena Bobbitt, Robert Blake, and Tammy Faye Bakker.
After 40 years on the air, ABC is tweaking the format of 20/20 by extending the show to two hours to give the show more of a documentary style, says executive producer David Sloan:
We have made it feel less like a news magazine and more like a documentary or movie, with all the appropriate moodiness, atmospherics, character development and structure. What we have been seeing, in both broadcast and streaming, is that people are looking for bigger experiences.”
