Sunday morning talk show

A Sunday morning talk show is a television program with a news/talk/public affairs-hybrid format that is broadcast on Sunday mornings. This type of program originated in the United States, and has since been used in other countries.

These programs typically focus on current events that occurred during the previous week, with a main focus on political and sociopolitical topics (including discussions on public policy, national security, the economy and world events such as geopoliticial and military conflicts). These programs often feature national leaders in politics and public life as guests to discuss the topics featured in that week's broadcast, in the form of one-on-one interviews with the program's moderator on a particular story as well as roundtable discussions in a multiple-topic debate format involving the moderator and a panel of (usually between four and six) guests. Depending on the country, some programs may also incorporate contribution reports from members of the network or television station's reporting staff on certain news stories featured in that week's edition. However if breaking news occurs during the program, the regular format is often unseen or limited that week in order to provide rolling live news coverage.

Since the establishment of the Fox News bureau in 1996, five major Sunday morning talk shows have been generally recognized in media coverage of the format:

While these are the "Big Five" that are universally included in the definition, not all of these program air in every market, and there are some other shows that are occasionally included in this category. Two relatively recent Sunday morning talk shows broadcast in the Spanish language:

Other English language examples include NBC's syndicated The Chris Matthews Show,Bloomberg Television's Political Capital with Al Hunt, the PBS roundtables The McLaughlin Group, and This Is America with Dennis Wholey as well as Washington Week and the now-defunct Inside Washington,C-SPAN's Newsmakers,TV One's Washington Watch, Sinclair Broadcast Group's Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, and (until Tim Russert's 2008 death) MSNBC's Tim Russert Show among several others.
