Sunday Show Ratings: December 22

By Merrill Knox 

CBS’ “Face the Nation” was the top-rated Sunday public affairs show on December 22. ABC’s “This Week,” which has beaten “Meet the Press” in total viewers for the last three weeks and in the A25-54 demographic for three of the last four weeks, was second in both ratings measurements.

Compared to last week, only Univision’s “Al Punto” and ABC’s “This Week” are up in both ratings measurements. “Face the Nation” and “Meet the Press” are down and “Fox News Sunday” is flat across the board.
