Meet the Press is described as what type of program?

• A. A daily entertainment talk show
• B. A late-night political satire program
• C. America's most watched Sunday morning public affairs program
• D. A weekday sports round-up

Answer: (C)

A Sunday morning public affairs program. Meet the Press is defined by its focus on politics and public policy, delivered in in-depth interviews and discussions during the Sunday morning time slot on NBC. That combination—weekly, early in the week, serious political discourse—places it in the public affairs category rather than entertainment, satire, or sports. The descriptor “America’s most watched” reflects its long-standing prominence in audience size among Sunday morning public affairs shows. The other options describe different genres that don’t fit what the program is about or when it airs.
