A Current Affair is an American television newsmagazine program that aired in syndication from July 28, 1986, to August 30, 1996, before it was briefly rebroadcast from March to October 2005.

While showing some hard news stories, the focus of the program is often entertainment, scandals, gossip and exploitative tabloid journalism.

Its main competitors were Hard Copy and Inside Edition (the latter of which remains on the air today), along with the many talk shows that dominated daytime TV during the 1990s.

Former Atlanta Falcons defensive end and lawyer Tim Green hosted the new edition,[5] unofficially known as ACA 2.

Suspicions that Ailes pulled the program because the ACA team was competing with, and sometimes besting, his cable Fox News, were intensified in October 2005, when, after its cancellation was announced, ACA broadcast an exclusive interview with Natalee Holloway murder suspect Joran van der Sloot, and Rivera revealed to the press that Ailes planned to use the timeslot as a beachhead for the establishment of a Fox News nightly newscast.
