Posts Double-Digit Gains Across-the-Board Year-Over-Year
APRIL 14, 2016 – “Meet the Press with Chuck Todd” (MTP) was the most-watched Sunday show with A25-54 viewers this past Sunday, April 10 – marking its sixth consecutive win in the key demo.
MTP topped its competition in the demo by double-digits: +10 percent more than CBS’ “Face the Nation,” which only rates for a half-hour of its hour-long program, and +17 percent more than ABC’s “This Week,” which rated for less than forty minutes of its hour-long program.
MTP also beat ABC in total viewers for the 14th straight week, delivering 3.330 million viewers.
Continuing its dominance in the influential Washington, D.C. market as the most-watched Sunday show for more than a year, MTP held double-digit and quadruple-digit advantages over its competition in both total viewers and the demo.
Year-over-year, MTP delivered double-digit gains among total viewers and the key demo, up +26 percent in both, respectively.
With rebroadcasts on the NBC network and on MSNBC, an additional 1.295 million total viewers and 448,000 A25-54 viewers watched MTP.
