    Composer: John Williams
    Meet the Press, a weekly American television news and interview program is broadcast on NBC. As the longest-running show on American television, its current format differs significantly from its inaugural episode on November 6, 1947. The essence of Meet the Press lies in its focus on interviews with influential figures in Washington, D.C., spanning the nation and even the world. The discussions center around politics, economics, foreign policy, and public affairs. The program additionally includes panel debates that offer insights and analyses.
    In January 2021, production transitioned to NBC's bureau on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The program's enduring success is partly attributed to its launch during only the second official "network television season" in American television history. Notably, it marked the first instance of a sitting U.S. president appearing on live television network news. This milestone occurred during the November 9, 1975 broadcast featuring Gerald Ford.
    Meet the Press has been helmed by 12 moderators, commencing with creator Martha Rountree. Since 2014, Chuck Todd has fulfilled the moderator role, concurrently serving as political director for NBC News.
    At present, the hour-long show typically airs on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone and is delayed elsewhere. Instances of preemption may occur due to network coverage of international sporting events. The program also finds a rebroadcast slot on Mondays at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time on MSNBC, with its audio feed simulcast on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio. Furthermore, the program enjoys syndication by Westwood One to various radio stations across the United States, and it's available on C-SPAN Radio as part of the Sunday morning talk show replays.
    The following is the list of moderators for Meet the Press:
    Martha Rountree - 1947-1953
    Ned Brooks - 1953-1965
    Lawrence E. Spivak - 1966-1975
    Bill Monroe - 1975-1984
    Roger Mudd and Marvin Kalb (co-moderators) - 1984-1985
    Marvin Kalb - 1985-1987
    Chris Wallace - 1987-1988
    Garrick Utley - 1989-1991
    Tim Russert - 1991-2008
    Tom Brokaw - 2008
    David Gregory - 2008-2014
    Chuck Todd - 2014-present

    My Dad's Sunday Morning tradition is watching Meet The Press , reading his Sunday morning newspaper,and having his morning cup of coffee.When we were growing up, when we heard the Meet The Press Theme Music we knew it was Sunday Morning. Still now if you call him on Sunday Mornings at that time you will hear it in the background. Sometimes he records it. My Dad in his mid 70''s and he has embraced technology like a champ.

    I fucking hate this song. Let me explain . I was deeply affected by the events of 9/11. So much tragedy in one day, gave me a bit of PTSD, not by the events of that day. But by this song. They played it over and over and over and over. So that everytime they play this song. My head immediately thinks "we're under attack, we're all gonna die!" Stop playing it when kanye releases a new album. Stop playing it when Kim Kardashian says something stupid, stop playing it when a celebrity dies! It's the reason I've serious stopped watching NBC. too many jump scares!
