ABC - 20/20 TO LOSE ITS TIME PERIOD

20/20 TO LOSE ITS TIME PERIOD

ABC's newsmagazine 20/20, a fixture in the 10:00 p.m. hour on Fridays for 20 years, will be moving to 8:00 p.m. in the fall, the network announced Wednesday. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, executive producer David Sloan expressed no qualms about the decision to move the show into the earlier time slot. "The network recognizes and acknowledges that 20/20 has been the top-rated show on ABC -- and sometimes on all networks -- on Friday," Sloan said. Moving into the 10:00 p.m. slot will be the drama Men in Trees.
