Meet the Press

Listen to "Meet the Press" Sunday mornings 9a-10a on News Talk 710 KIRO. "Meet the Press," the longest-running program ever on network television, premiered on NBC-TV on November 6, 1947, with James A. Farley, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and Franklin Roosevelt's postmaster general as its first guest. The show made its initial debut two years earlier - as a radio program with Martha Rountree and Lawrence Spivak as producers. For almost as long as there has been television, there has been "Meet the Press."

Foreign policy has always been a staple of "Meet the Press" interviews. World leaders interviewed on the program include: Fidel Castro, Francois Mitterrand, Indira Gandhi, David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Ferdinand Marcos, Jean Monnet, Mikhail Gorbachev, Anwar el-Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin, King Hussein of Jordan, Hamid Karzai, Pervez Musharraf, King Abdullah of Jordan, Tony Blair and Ghazi al-Yawar.

Every Sunday morning for 59 years, millions of Americans tune in to get answers from U.S. and world leaders, and to hear analysis, discussion and review of the week's political events from noted journalists and experts. "Meet the Press" is proud to be the highest rated, most watched and most quoted Sunday morning public affairs program. An average of 5 million viewers tune in each week to share in a dialogue about the important issues of the nation. If it's Sunday, it's "Meet the Press."
