Sunday-morning Interview ShowsThe Sunday-morning interview shows in the United States are influential television talk programs which often feature national leaders as guests. The old triumvirate of these programs is made up of Meet the Press on NBC, Face the Nation on CBS and This Week on ABC (the old "big three" networks), although many shows appear elsewhere. Cable and satellite networks run a number of similar shows, such as FOX's Fox News Sunday and CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer. The programs usually just consist of interviews, but often include debates. In the case of Fox News Sunday, the show is also often broadcast on affiliate stations of the terrestrial Fox network. The inverse is true of Meet the Press, which is repeated on CNBC on Sunday night as of 2004. Local television stations sometimes produce their own programs that air in this time frame, generally focusing on local or state politics rather than national issues. 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 (one current official of the Bush administration who does this very frequently is Condoleezza Rice).
