'''''Turning Point''''' is an [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] program that aired from 1994 to 1999.

''Turning Point'' was an hour-long documentary program focused on a single topic, making it similar to [[CBS]]' ''[[48 Hours (TV program)|48 Hours]]'', which it ran directly opposite for some of its run.  The program tended toward sensational topics, such as former members of [[Charles Manson]]'s "Family" and much coverage of the [[O. J. Simpson murder case]], which was current for much of the program's run.  ABC News figures appearing regularly on the program included [[Diane Sawyer]], [[Forrest Sawyer]], [[Meredith Vieira]], [[Peter Jennings]] and [[Barbara Walters]].

This ''Turning Point'' is not to be confused with an ABC dramatic [[anthology series]] of the same title which ran during the 1952-53 television season.
