APRIL 4, 2017 \u2013 \u201cMeet the Press with Chuck Todd\u201d (MTP) was the most-watched Sunday public affairs program on Sunday, April 2, according to Nielsen data, marking its first time as #1 season-to-date in every demographic since the 2010-2011 season.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s program<\/a> exclusively featured both Senate party leaders (Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)) as well as former FBI agent Clint Watts, who discussed Russian information operations after testifying on Capitol Hill earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

MTP has been the #1 most-watched Sunday show across the board for ten of the past 11 weeks, breaking the record streak: the last time this happened was from July 10, 2011 to September 25, 2011.<\/p>\n

3.837 million viewers tuned into Sunday\u2019s broadcast, four percent more than the same Sunday last year. MTP beat CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d by two percent (+90,000) and delivered its biggest win over ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week\u201d in more than four years (since Dec. 20, 2012) with +33 percent more viewers (+948,000).<\/p>\n

In the demo most valued by news advertisers, MTP continues as the sole Sunday show to consistently deliver more than one million viewers each week. 1.196 million A25-54 viewers tuned into the broadcast, gaining eight percent compared to the same Sunday last year. MTP topped CBS by +35 percent (+308,000) and ABC by +51 percent (+403,000).<\/p>\n

MTP won its 92nd consecutive broadcast in the influential Washington, D.C. market, continuing to outperform the competition across the board with the market\u2019s newsmaker audience.<\/p>\n

An additional 1.551 million total viewers and 314,000 A25-54 viewers watched MTP through rebroadcasts on MSNBC.<\/p>\n
