“This Week”, This Quarter

ABC is giddy about the recent performance of “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

“THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS” REPORTS BEST SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE YEAR-TO-YEAR OF ALL SUNDAY DISCUSSION PROGRAMS–POSTING DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH IN BOTH TOTAL VIEWERS AND KEY DEMOGRAPHIC

“THIS WEEK” POSTS HIGHEST ADULTS 25-54 SECOND QUARTER DELIVERY SINCE 1999 AND HIGHEST TOTAL VIEWERS SECOND QUARTER DELIVERY SINCE 2002

As we’ve noted before, there is a palpable energy behind “This Week” and both George and his staff seem to have Mr. Russert in their sights.

But is “Meet the Press” capable of being toppled? After all, “This Week” — for all its growth — still placed 3rd for the 2nd quarter. Is MTP’s dominance in that market far too strong?
