“Meet the Press” was the most-watched Sunday public affairs show last week, but due NBC Sports’ coverage of the U.S. Open the show was labeled a “special” and will not be included in the week or season-to-date Nielsen average. “Meet” aired at various times last Sunday because of the rain-delayed Open. CBS’s “Face the Nation” came in first in A25-54 viewers, edging MTP.
