45/85 is an ABC News television documentary. It aired on September 18, 1985.[1] The three-hour program combined archive film and television footage with new interviews to document post-World War II history, focusing especially on the Cold War.
Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings were the co-anchors. 45/85 featured interviews with then-current President of the United States Ronald Reagan, as well as interviews with every living former President, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
The success of 45/85 led ABC to create the documentary series Our World in 1986. Our World, with a similar format blending archive footage and interviews, was critically-acclaimed but low-rated and ABC cancelled it after a single season.
