From her days at NBC and CBS, she has distinguished herself through her creativity, insight and pure determination. As we grow and evolve the show, Soledad, Tolleah and the Matter of Fact team will continue to focus on delivering quality, differentiated storytelling aided by our valued station partners around the country.”

For the 2019-20 television season, Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien has increased its reach from 90% to 93% of U.S. TV households.
