Face the Nation

Sunday at 1pm

Face the Nation is a weekly news and morning public affairs program airing Sundays on CBS that has been one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television since its creation by Frank Stanton in 1954. The program features compelling interviews with newsmakers, thoughtful roundtable discussions, and sharp analysis on the top issues of the day, with moderator Margaret Brennan coming face to face with the most influential policymakers, politicians, newsmakers, and experts to dig deep into politics, current events, and the latest headlines. Margaret Brennan became moderator in February 2018 and quickly became known for her tough but fair questioning of world leaders, politicians, and policymakers, bringing to her coverage of domestic politics a background in national security and financial news. As the second woman to host the venerable CBS News broadcast, Brennan has continued Face the Nation's legacy as America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program and helped propel it to become the most watched in its category for five consecutive years, beginning with the 2021-2022 television season.
