What happens

Face the Nation is a weekly news and morning public affairs program airing Sundays on the CBS Radio and television network. Created by Frank Stanton in 1954, Face the Nation is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television. Typically, the program features interviews with prominent American officials, politicians, and authors. Margaret Brennan has been the moderator of Face the Nation since 2018, though former host John Dickerson substituted during Brennan's maternity leave in spring and summer 2021. Upon Brennan's return to the program in September 2021, its title was changed to Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. The show's full hour is broadcast live from the CBS News Washington, D.C., bureau at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, though some stations delay or abbreviate episodes to accommodate local (usually church service) and sports programming. In 2017, Face the Nation's audience was the largest of all Sunday public affairs programs, with an average of 3.538 million viewers. NBC competitor Meet the Press closely competed for the title in 2018, besting Face the Nation's audience for several months. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
