From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Face the Nation is an American Sunday-morning political interview show which premiered on the CBS television network on November 7, 1954. At 30 minutes, Face the Nation is the shortest of the Sunday talk shows. Presently the show is moderated by Bob Schieffer.
Each Sunday the moderator interviews newsmakers on the latest issues and delivers a short topical commentary at the end of the broadcast. The program broadcasts from Washington, D.C.
Guests include government leaders, politicians, and international figures in the news. CBS News correspondents and other contributors engage the guests in a lively roundtable discussion focusing on current topics.
The program broadcasts on the CBS Television Network, usually at 10:30 AM ET, right after CBS News Sunday Morning. Local affiliates are free to air the show at the time of their choosing, usually before noon local time. The show is also broadcast on a delay on a handful of radio affiliates.
