MEET THE PRESS WITH CHUCK TODD" is the #1 most-watched Sunday show across the board for the second straight week, delivering 3.284 million total viewers this past Sunday, June 26.

This marks the third win in total viewers over CBS' "Face the Nation" out of the last four broadcasts and the 21st consecutive win in total viewers over ABC. MTP led CBS by +71,000 in total viewers, despite the competition's advantageous lead-in and rating only the first 30 minutes of its hour-long broadcast.

With rebroadcasts on the NBC network and on MSNBC, an additional 1.268 million total viewers and 373,000 A25-54 viewers watched MTP on Sunday.

MTP is also the #1 most-watched Sunday show in the key demo for the second quarter of 2016, delivering a runaway lead over the competition with 1.023 million A25-54 viewers.

This quarter win solidifies MTP's dominance in the key demo, as the network broadcast has risen from #3 to #1 in the past year alone. The Q2'16 lead in the key demo is MTP's biggest advantage over CBS in almost five years (+155,000) and over ABC in more than three years (+143,000).

MTP was the second most-watched Sunday show for the quarter, marking its biggest Q2 audience in eight years. Looking at this time last year, the show has now risen to #2 in total viewers from #3. The network broadcast has cut the total viewer gap with CBS by 79 percent year-over-year (-122,000 in 2Q'16 vs. -595,000 in 2Q'15).
