What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, the 20/20 newsmagazine is anchored by journalists David Muir and Amy Robach. Correspondents include Juju Chang, John Quiñones, Deborah Roberts, Brian Ross, Diane Sawyer, and Jay Schadler. Created by Roone Arledge in June 1978, the program 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.
Season 44 Ratings
The 44th season of 20/20 averages a 0.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.17 million viewers. Compared to season 43, that’s down by 7% in the demo and up by 5% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including 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. Find out how 20/20 stacks up against other ABC TV shows.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew 20/20 for season 45? This show has been a staple of the network’s schedule for more than four decades and still performs pretty well. It’s also a familiar catch-all title that can be used for various ABC News specials. I can’t see it being cancelled anytime soon. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
