MTP Wins 25-54 Demo for Four of Last Six Weeks; Tops CBS for 6th Straight Week, ABC for 2nd Straight Week

Second Consecutive Win in Total Viewers Over ABC

Year-Over-Year, MTP Continues to Post Double-Digit Growth

DEC. 10, 2015 – NBC News’ “Meet the Press with Chuck Todd” (MTP) was the most-watched Sunday show on Dec. 6 in the coveted A25-54 demographic, marking its fourth audience win over the last six weeks and its best streak in almost three years (since the end of Dec. 2012).

This marks the sixth consecutive week in which MTP has topped CBS’ “Face the Nation” in the key demo, despite CBS rating for only 30 minutes, and the second straight demo win over ABC’s “This Week.”

Averaging 3.544 million viewers, MTP beat ABC for the second consecutive week in total viewers.

MTP continues its strong momentum, posting double-digit growth among total viewers (+23%) and the A25-45 demo (18%) year-over-year.

With triple-digit advantages across-the-board over network competition, MTP also continues to dominate the influential Washington, D.C. market and has ranked #1 in total viewers for every Sunday it has aired in the market since March.

MTP delivered an additional 1.290 million total viewers and 433,000 A25-54 viewers with rebroadcasts on the NBC network and on MSNBC.
