SUNDAY MORNING TALK SHOWS
(Redirected from Sunday-morning interview shows)
The 'Sunday morning talk shows' in the United States are influential television talk/public affairs programs broadcast on Sunday mornings. The five current programs, in order of their debuts, are:
★ ''Meet the Press'' (debuted in 1945 on radio; 1947 on television) on NBC (and rebroadcasts on MSNBC)
★ ''Face the Nation'' (1954) on CBS
★ ''This Week'' (1981) on ABC
★ ''Late Edition'' (1993) on CNN
★ ''Fox News Sunday'' (1996) on Fox (and rebroadcasts on Fox News)
The Sunday morning talk shows which often feature national leaders in politics and public life, including U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, state governors, candidates for President and Vice President, Cabinet secretaries, White House officials, and directors of federal agencies. U.S. military leaders, ambassadors, and religious leaders also appear, as well as promient journalists and commentators. Members of prominent think tanks such as Brookings, AEI, Cato, Hoover, and Heritage often are invited to appear on the Sunday morning talk shows.
The national shows are generally aired live or recorded in Washington, D.C., providing easy access to many political leaders. In fact, many individuals manage to appear via satellite or in studio for three or more of the programs. On February 1, 1998, William Ginsburg, the attorney then representing the family of Monica Lewinsky during the Lewinsky scandal, became the first to appear on all five shows on the same day. [1]
C-SPAN radio provides a commercial-free rebroadcast of all five Sunday talk shows in rapid succession, beginning at noon Eastern. Other radio stations rebroadcast some of the shows with commercials on Sunday afternoon.
Many local television stations also produce their own programs that air in this time frame, generally focusing on local or state politics rather than national issues.
Media Matters for America studies have shown a skew towards conservatives [2] and a bias towards white males, with a lack of gender and ethnic diversity [3]. However, as mentioned at the top of this article these shows invite politicians and prominent journalists, the fact that white males compose a majority of these groups should not be ignored.
Similar Sunday-morning current-events shows exist in Australia. These include the Nine Network's ''Sunday'', which began in 1981, and ''Insiders'', a political interview program on the ABC.
Similar practice occurs in the UK, in the form of shows such as Sunday AM on the BBC and Sunday Live with Adam Boulton on Sky News; though these shows have a somewhat broader remit, often intervewing figures from the arts, popular entertainment and sports in addition to political leaders.
