What’s This TV Show About?

A primetime news series airing on the ABC television network, the 20/20 TV show is anchored by journalists David Muir and Deborah Roberts. The long-form newsmagazine program, created by Roone Arledge in June 1978, combines investigative news reports with human interest stories and other features. Episodes include character-driven true-crime mysteries, newsmaker interviews, investigative reports, and in-depth coverage of high-profile stories. The venerable series’ name is derived from the 20/20 measurement of visual acuity.
 

Season 46 Ratings

The 46th season of 20/20 averaged a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.73 million viewers. Compared to season 45, that’s down by 15% in the demo and down by 1% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew 20/20 for season 47? I can’t imagine this show being cancelled. It’s a staple of the Friday night schedule and has been on the air forever. The network can always change the format if the ratings go too low. I have no doubt it will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
