#1 Sunday Show in Key A25-54 Demo for February Sweeps<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Most-Watched Sunday Show in Influential Washington Market Since March 2015\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

MARCH 3, 2016 \u2013 \u201cMeet the Press with Chuck Todd\u201d (MTP) delivered its best February Sweeps performances in two presidential election cycles \u2013 since February 2008 \u2013 \u00a0in both the key A25-54 demo and in total viewers.<\/p>\n

MTP was the #1 Sunday show in the key A25-54 demo for February Sweeps with 1.140 million viewers: +30,000 more than CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d (FTN) and +83,000 more than ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d<\/p>\n

MTP delivered its best total viewer sweep performance in eight years, averaging 3.862 million viewers \u2013 +327,000 more than ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only 163,000 viewers separated MTP from FTN for a total viewer win in February Sweeps, as FTN continues to claim ratings for only its first half-hour. MTP was rated for +69 minutes more than FTN and +42 minutes more than ABC during February Sweeps.<\/p>\n

Compared to February 2015, MTP is outpacing both ABC and CBS in year-over-year growth in total viewers (+24 percent) and in the key demo (+23 percent).<\/p>\n

This past Sunday, MTP won the key A25-54 demo and was only separated by 1% of viewers for a total viewer win against FTN, despite being rated for 15 minutes more.<\/p>\n

MTP continues to dominate the influential Washington, D.C. market as the #1 most-watched Sunday show of every broadcast since March 2015.<\/p>\n
