Nightline Enters Second Week of Single-Topic Late-Night News Coverage of COVID-19.

ABC today announced a late-night programming swap to deliver the latest COVID-19 updates from ABC News. Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which previously announced it will air encore presentations for two weeks, will move to 12:05 a.m. EDT starting Tuesday, March 17, and ABC News’ award-winning Nightline will air at 11:35 p.m. EDT for four nights.

As previously announced, Nightline is devoting its show to sole coverage of COVID-19 and the global and domestic effects of the outbreak, marking a return to the program’s roots when Nightline launched 40 years ago with daily news updates on the Iran hostage crisis. As the crisis continues to rapidly develop across the nation, by airing one-hour earlier, Nightline will reach even more people with the important context, analysis and expert insight Americans want to stay informed and safe during this uncertain time.

The latest Nightline reporting on COVID-19 is available BELOW.

ABC News’ Nightline is late-night television‘s prestigious, award-winning news program featuring the most powerful, in-depth stories that shape our lives and the world around us. It is anchored by Juju Chang and Byron Pitts. Steven Baker is executive producer. The program airs weeknights from 12:35-1:05 a.m. EDT on ABC. Nightline has also produced numerous original documentaries available on ABC News digital platforms and Hulu.
