A staple of the Friday night schedule isn’t going anywhere. The 20/20 series has been renewed for a 46th season by ABC.
A primetime newsmagazine series, the 20/20 TV show is anchored by journalist David Muir. The program, created by Roone Arledge in June 1978, combines investigative news reports with human interest stories and other features. The venerable series’ name is derived from the 20/20 measurement of visual acuity.
The 45th season of 20/20 averages a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.79 million viewers. Compared to season 44, that’s down by 21% in the demo and down by 11% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). In the live+7 day ratings, episodes pick up about 35% more viewers.
Due to the writers strike, ABC has filled its Fall 2023 schedule with unscripted shows and this venerable series will air in its usual Friday night timeslot.
What do you think? Do you watch the 20/20 TV series regularly? Are you glad to hear that this long-running ABC has been officially renewed for 2023-24?
Great show. Watch it every week
I love this show and watch it every week, or next day on Hulu.
It’s the only show I still watch on ABC
Best show …..at least it’s interesting and not stupid like your singing and dancing stupid shows
I like this show but it needs to be cut down to 1 hour instead of 2. Currently there is so much irrelevant filler talk that it gets boring.
