SUNDAY TALK SHOW RATINGS ANALYSIS

NBC MEET THE PRESS....4,671,000 (34%) (+790,000)
CBS FACE THE NATION...3,321,000 (24%) (+379,000)
ABC THIS WEEK.........3,122,000 (23%) (+125,000)
FOX NEWS SUNDAY.......2,094,000 (15%) (-368,000)
CNN LATE EDITION........598,000 ( 4%) (+ 70,000)

This past week, for the fifth straight week in a row, more people watched the Sunday talk shows than the week prior. Most notable this week is the gains made by FACE THE NATION, who gained nearly 400,000 viewers from last week to rise to four month highs in viewers and audience share. MEET THE PRESS regained the large audience losses it suffered last week but because more people are tuning in it only regained half of the audience share from its high two weeks ago. THIS WEEK had modest gains.

The big loser this week is FOX NEWS SUNDAY, and given the fact that they were interviewing the likes of George Mitchell last week, we can see why. Fox lost 15% of its audience last week. All data (c)2007 Nielsen Media Research. Data includes cable replays. Live data and NBC replays from NBC press release; live data verified by ABC press release. Fox replays from TV Newser.
