New \u201cMeet the Press\u201d this Labor Day Sunday; Tune in to MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMTP Daily with Chuck Todd\u201d at 5 p.m. weekdays<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

AUGUST 30, 2016 \u2013 \u201cMeet the Press with Chuck Todd\u201d returned to screens this past Sunday, Aug. 28 as the most-watched Sunday show across the board, delivering 3.122 million total viewers and 977,000 viewers in the key demo.<\/p>\n

This was the network program\u2019s first regularly-scheduled telecast for four weeks (since July 24) due to several programming changes in markets and 2016 Rio Olympics coverage.<\/p>\n

MTP beat ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week\u201d by five percent in total viewers (+160,000) and by 23 percent in the key A24-54 demo (+181,000).<\/p>\n

Despite almost a month of interrupted programming, the broadcast continued its dominance in the demo with a 21 percent gain (+167,000) compared to the same time last year.<\/p>\n

An additional 877,000 viewers and 214,000 key demo viewers watched MTP with rebroadcasts on MSNBC.<\/p>\n

Please note: CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d which rates for only 30 minutes of its hour-long program, was retitled this past Sunday.<\/p>\n

Watch this past Sunday\u2019s show<\/a>, and follow \u201cMeet the Press\u201d on Twitter<\/a> and on Facebook<\/a> for the latest.<\/p>\n

Tune in to MSNBC weekdays at 5 p.m. ET for \u201cMTP Daily\u201d and this coming Sunday, Sept. 4 for a brand-new \u201cMeet the Press with Chuck Todd.\u201d<\/p>\n
