NBC’s “Meet the Press” was the number one Sunday show this week in both total viewers and the A25-54 demo, posting its best ratings in almost a year. “MTP” drew its largest Total Viewer audience and highest demo rating since last March (22nd and 29th, respectively). It was the only program to grow week-to-week.
CBS’ “Face the Nation,” which was #1 in the demo the week prior with its broadcast from the Super Bowl, drew the second most viewers in both categories. Both CBS and NBC had interviews with Vice President Joe Biden.
ABC’s “This Week” remained in third place and is still using rotating anchors. Jonathan Karl was the latest substitute to moderate the program. He interviewed former VP Dick Cheney.
“Fox News Sunday” drew an additional 1.89M total viewers (424,000 demo) via cable replays. “MTP” drew an additional 421,000 total viewers on MSNBC, though the NBC repeat was preempted.
