Cheaters airs on Saturday nights on The CW Plus. It also aired on G4TV from 2006–2012. The CW Plus airs two episodes: a one-hour-long episode followed by a 30-minute episode. A 10-minute version of the show called Cheaters: Amazing Confrontations is available through on-demand services. Actor Joey Greco was the show's longest-running host, hosting from late 2002 to mid-2012. On season 13, he was replaced by Clark James Gable, grandson of Clark Gable.
Cheaters has been rated TV-14 due to strong language, and sexual and potentially violent situations. All uncensored pay-per-view episodes of Cheaters are rated TV-MA as they contain nudity and explicit language.
The show's complainants can be either married or long-term significant others, and have included both opposite-sex and same-sex couples.
Each episode begins with a brief interview of the complainant, detailing how the complainant met their partner and what has led them to believe that the partner is cheating, explaining suspicious activities or behavior. Next, the narrator (originally Robert Magruder, then Ken Eaken since 2015) describes the progress of the investigation of the partner (referred to as "the suspect"). Private investigators follow the suspect over the course of several days or weeks at their home, workplace, and/or in public with their alleged paramour (dubbed "the companion"). Occasionally, hidden cameras are installed in the complainant's and suspect's home. One or more recorded telephone conversations between the complainant and suspect, in which the suspect lies about his or her whereabouts, are also played.
When the investigation turns up enough evidence of the suspect's infidelity, the show enters its second segment, "the confrontation." The host meets with the complainant and shows them the evidence collected (originally on a video camera, then on an iPad). The host sometimes warns the complainant that some of the footage found may be disturbing or upsetting. Graphic footage from the investigators—for example, the suspect and their companion engaged in a sexual act—is shown uncensored to the complainant but digitally blurred to the show's viewers; however, uncensored versions of the trysts have been released on DVD.
