Sunday Show Ratings: May 26

By Merrill Knox 

CBS’ “Face the Nation” was on top this week, leading the way in both Total Viewers and the A25-54 demographic. “Meet the Press” was pre-empted for NBC’s coverage of the Monaco Grand Prix, and “This Week” aired with low coverage because ABC’s broadcast of the Indianapolis 500.

Compared to the same week last year, “Face the Nation,” “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” were up in both ratings measurements. ABC grew the most in Total Viewers (+38%) and Fox grew the most in A25-54 viewers (+47%). Univision’s “Al Punto” was up in Total Viewers but down in the demo.
