“Fox News Sunday” was in third place with Univision’s “Al Punto” rounding out the list in fourth.
Compared to the same week last year, “MTP” and “Fox news Sunday” were down in both total and demo viewers, “Face the Nation” is up in both categories, while “This Week” is flat in total viewers, and down slightly in the demo.
