Covering the Fires: 20/20′s Best Ratings in More Than a Year

Last night’s special edition of 20/20 posted the program’s largest audience in more than a year and its highest A18-49 and A25-54 numbers in more than eight months.

The Charlie Gibson-anchored special brought in 10.9M total viewers. In the A18-49 demo the hour had a 2.8 rating/8 share; in A25-54 it had a 3.7/10.

The 20/20 special had a generous lead-in from the Dancing with the Stars results show (Marie Osmond stays). Stars drew 17.8M total viewers.
