For the 2nd week in a row, ABC's 20/20 ran #1 during the 10 o'clock hour in Adults 18-49 and finished as Friday's #1 newsmagazine in the key Adult 25-54 news demo, beating both NBC's 2-hour Dateline and Rock Center with Brian Williams. Head to head from 10-11pm, 20/20 beat NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams by wide margins in Total Viewers (+29%), Adults 25-54 (+36%) and Adults 18-49 (+40%). 20/20 took viewers on a candid, inspiring and intimate journey inside Robin Roberts' challenging fight against myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a rare blood disorder.
