Yet another split decision for the Sunday public affairs shows: CBS’ “Face the Nation” comes in first in total viewers, but ABC’s “This Week” takes the top spot in the A25-54 demographic.
Compared to the same week last year, only “This Week” grew in both ratings measurements, up +10% in total viewers and +15 in the demo. “Fox News Sunday” and NBC’s “Meet the Press” were up slightly in total viewers and down in the demo, while “Face the Nation” and Univision’s “Al Punto” were down across the board.
Cable replays of “Fox News Sunday” averaged a combined 2,012,000 total viewers and 457,000 A25-54 viewers. Rebroadcasts of “Meet the Press” delivered an additional 933,000 and 384,000 viewers, respectively.
“Face the Nation” is based on the first half-hour only, as the full contiguous hour aired in just 50% of the country.
