The Sunday-morning interview shows in the United States are influential television talk programs which often feature national leaders as guests for interviews and debates.

Programs

The five current programs, ordered by 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 national shows are generally 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 exact same day.

C-SPAN Radio provides a commercial-free rebroadcast of all five national Sunday talk shows in rapid succession, beginning at noon ET. 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.

Australia

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.

United Kingdom

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.
