NBC’s “Meet the Press” was back on top this week, winning in both Total Viewers and the A25-54 demographic. ABC’s “This Week” came in second among younger viewers and CBS’ “Face the Nation” was second in Total Viewers.

“Meet the Press” was the only Sunday public affairs show to improve in both ratings measurements compared to the same week last year, up +8% in both Total Viewers and the demo. CBS’ “Face the Nation, “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” were up in Total Viewers but down in A25-54 viewers, while Univision’s “Al Punto” was down across the board.

Cable replays of “Fox News Sunday” averaged a combined 4,287,000 Total Viewers and 778,000 A25-54 viewers. Rebroadcasts of “Meet the Press” delivered 1,365,000 Total Viewers and 508,000 A25-54 viewers.
