What was the typeface used by ABC NEWS 20/20 in the 1990s?

[Chemist116]

I need help with the identification of the typeface used in the 20/20 logo from the 1997 season.

A sample of the logo can be seen around 0:22 in the intro from this telecast.

I also need help with the typeface used in the closing credits. This can be read around the 46:24 minute mark.

Interestingly this style of closing was modified once again later in that same year but it appears the typeface remained the same.

ABC News changed the logo around the late 1998 season. Which typeface was that?. Is it similar to the closing credits of the 1997 version?.

Around 1999 there is also a closing credits typeface used after the program credits which was used as a preview for ABC it appears to be courier new but I cannot confirm. Any help on this please?.

I'd appreciate someone could help me to identify the exact or near exact font used on all of these. Can someone help me here?.

Most logos use custom lettering, not fonts or type faces.

The 20/20 logo is most assuredly custom work.

Georgia Bold is close.

Here's another, with a pointy-nosed 2. You'd have to flatten it just a tad.
