"This Week": No. 2 Sunday News Show

[DToTheJ]

ABC News has issued a press release boasting about how it has outperformed CBS' "Face The Nation" in the 25-54 demographic (NBC's "Meet The Press," of course, No. 1) :

This with Jake Tapper as the interim host for most of the last few months. Does anyone suspect ABC has some hidden "buyer's remorse" on Christiane Amanpour, who takes over as host in four months?

But I saw another article over on tvspy.com that "This Week" has fallen to #3 in TOTAL ratings! Honestly, I wouldn't think that 18-49 is the target demo for an early Sunday morning program. It's more of 35+ age demo. Trying to get 19 year olds to wake up at 8am on Sunday is probably a lost cause.

It sounds like ABC is trying to make the best of its interim mess right now. Hopefully, it will get back to #2 overall when Christiane takes over.
