Meet the Press is a weekly American television news/interview program that is broadcast on NBC. It is the longest-running program in American television history, though its current format bears little resemblance to the one it debuted with on November 6, 1947. Like similar shows that have followed it, Meet the Press specializes in interviews with national leaders on issues of politics, economics, foreign policy and other public affairs, along with panel discussions that provide opinions and analysis. The longevity of Meet the Press is illustrated when one considers that the program debuted during what was only the second official "network television season" for American television. One historical landmark of the program is that it was the first on which a sitting U.S. president, Gerald Ford, appeared on a live television network news program, which occurred on the November 9, 1975, broadcast. The program has been hosted by 12 different moderators to date, beginning with creator Martha Rountree. Chuck Todd, who also currently serves as political director and chief White House correspondent for NBC News, became the current moderator in September 2014. Currently, the hour-long program airs in most markets at 9:00 a.m. (transmitted live-to-air in the Eastern Time Zone and on tape delay elsewhere), though its timeslot may vary depending on the market due to commitments by affiliate to air religious, educational or local news, paid and public affairs programming; Meet the Press is also occasionally pre-empted due to sports events held outside of the U.S. that necessitate live network coverage in the morning (such as the French Open tennis tournament or the Monaco Grand Prix). The program is also rebroadcast on Sundays at 2:00 p.m. and early Monday mornings at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time on MSNBC (whose audio feed is also simulcast on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio), and on early Monday mornings as part of NBC's "All Night" lineup. The program is also syndicated by Westwood One to various radio stations around the United States, as well as on C-SPAN Radio as part of its replays of the Sunday morning talk shows. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
