"MEET THE PRESS WITH CHUCK TODD", which featured an exclusive interview with Vice President Joe Biden, was the most-watched Sunday show on Sunday, Oct. 16 with both total viewers and key demo viewers, marking its third consecutive week as #1 across the board.

Delivering 3.738 million total viewers, MTP led ABC's "This Week" by +12 percent (+402,000) and CBS' "Face the Nation" half-hour by six percent (+196,000). The network broadcast also increased its total viewer audience by +30 percent compared to the same Sunday last year.

In the key A25-54 demo, MTP delivered 1.134 million viewers, leading the competition by double digits: +13 percent more than ABC (+131,000) and +21 percent more than CBS (+193,000). Compared to the same Sunday last year, this marks a +48 percent increase.

MTP also had its biggest win among 55+ year-old viewers against ABC in four months (since June 19) and against CBS in seven months (since March 6).

In the influential Washington, D.C. market, MTP continues to dominate, out-delivering the combined averages of ABC, CBS and Fox News among total viewers this past Sunday. MTP also more than doubled each of its competitors in the key demo, marking its 23rd straight broadcast win with A25-54 viewers.

With rebroadcasts on MSNBC, MTP delivered an additional 1.121 million total viewers and 246,000 key demo viewers.

Sunday's program featured an exclusive interview with Vice President Biden and an interview with Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence.
