Viewpoint (TV program)

Viewpoint is a weekly American television newsmagazine that has been broadcast on the Central Television Network since July 9, 1991. Created by Central News executive Don Phelps, the program was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes and ABC's 20/20 in that it features in-depth story packages, although it focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The "Viewpoint" name was shared with a defunct ABC News program that broadcast sporadically from 1981 until 1997, and broadcast media criticism and analysis.
The two-hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings (currently airing at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone) for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Tuesday in 1996, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
