It is the longest-running program in television history, though its current format bears little resemblance to the one it debuted with on November 6, 1947.

It originates from NBC's Washington, DC studios.The longevity of Meet the Press can be illustrated in consideration of the fact that the program debuted during what was only the second official "network television season" for American television.

Chuck Todd, who also currently serves as political director, became the current moderator in September 2014.Currently, the hour-long program airs in most markets at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (live in the Eastern Time Zone, and on tape delay elsewhere), although 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 (as an example, NBC owned-and-operated station WNBC in New York City airs the program at 10:30 a.m. on local time). 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."@en }
