WASHINGTON, September 15, 2026 - Sinclair today announced Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson has been renewed for its 12th season. Full Measure, hosted by award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson, focuses on investigative and accountability reporting.
Season 12 starts this week with international reporting on the impact of immigration and population transformation, outrageous scams in both nursing and lottery industries, and reporting on concerns about both AI and the data centers that fuel it.
Since its launch in 2015, Full Measure has seen an increased share of audience* with Total audience share + 58%, Household share + 37%, Adults 25-54 share + 93%, Adults 35-64 share + 47% and Adults 50+ share has increased 20%.

The show was recently honored with a Gold Telly Award for excellence in the General-News & News Feature category for its investigation into the Tennessee Valley Authority.
"Full Measure has distinguished itself through fearless reporting and a commitment to pursuing stories that too often go untold," said Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of News at Sinclair. "The audience growth, awards and recognition the program has earned over the years are a reflection of the strength of Sharyl's investigative journalism, the rigor she brings to every story and the work of the entire Full Measure team. We're proud of what they continue to accomplish and the important journalism they deliver to viewers each week."
Attkisson, a five-time Emmy Award winner and recipient of the Edward R. Murrow award for investigative reporting, commented, "Now more than ever, viewers are thirsty for news and information that isn't curated or censored by outside interests. Our audience has found Full Measure the "go-to" Sunday news broadcast for interesting and important reporting that doesn't follow the crowd. We follow the facts."
"In an increasingly crowded and fragmented media landscape, audiences want to know who is doing the reporting and how the story was built," said Batt Humphreys, Executive Producer. "With Full Measure, there is no ambiguity. Sharyl Attkisson and our team of experienced journalists follow the facts, ask difficult questions and deliver original reporting grounded in firsthand investigation. That commitment has defined the program for 12 seasons."
Full Measure airs weekly on Sinclair television stations Sunday mornings. Viewers can also watch the show live online.
