MEET THE PRESS WITH CHUCK TODD is Most Watched Sunday Show for 3rd Straight Week

MEET THE PRESS WITH CHUCK TODD was the most-watched Sunday show on Sunday, March 19, 2017, marking its third straight week as #1 across the board. Delivering 3.621 million total viewers, MTP beat CBS' "Face the Nation" by six percent (+187,000) and ABC's "This Week" by +22 percent (+652,000). For eight of the past nine weeks, MTP has won in total viewers.

In the demo most valued by news advertisers, MTP was watched by 1.113 million A25-54 viewers, topping CBS by +18 percent (+171,000) and ABC by +27 percent (+238,000). This marks the 10th consecutive Sunday that MTP was #1 in the key demo.
