MTP has now delivered across-the-board double-digit growth compared to the previous year for five consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFace the Nation\u201d is rated only 30 minutes, despite airing\u00a0as a full contiguous hour\u00a0in more than three-fourths of the country. \u201cThis Week\u201d was rated for\u00a0just\u00a035 minutes\u00a0of its hour-long broadcast\u00a0this past Sunday.<\/p>\n

MTP continues to be the leading Sunday show in the influential Washington, D.C. market, winning in total viewers for every broadcast since April 19 of this year.<\/p>\n

MTP delivered an additional 1.043 million total viewers and 341,000 A25-54 viewers with rebroadcasts on the NBC network and on MSNBC.<\/p>\n
