The 30-minute, weekly program airs on Sinclair television stations on Sunday mornings, with a small number of markets airing on Saturday evening, and live online. Full Measure spotlights topics ranging from immigration to government waste, national security concerns and whistleblower reports on government abuse and misdeeds.
Season 10 will launch this weekend with Attkisson and the team reporting on the impact of immigration on both the upcoming presidential race and in changing both the face and politics of Europe.
"Every week, Full Measure continues to deliver impactful, accountability-driven journalism that challenges the status quo. Our mission remains focused on providing essential context and perspective on the most pressing issues affecting our audience. We are proud that the show has not only maintained its resonance but has also reached and engaged with new viewers," said Scott Livingston, SVP of News, Sinclair.

Attkisson, a five-time Emmy Award winner and recipient of the Edward R. Murrow award for investigative reporting, commented, “It’s hard to believe we are starting our tenth season of Full Measure. We’re grateful to our audience, which is clearly thirsty for independent, off-narrative reporting. And we won’t be disappointing them in Season 10!”
“We’ve been fortunate in our support by Sinclair for this decade, to continue the journey and to bring a growing audience the reporting they won’t find anywhere else,” said Batt Humphreys, Executive Producer.
