Meet the Press first aired over Radio as The American Mercury Presents Meet the Press, a 1945 program over the Mutual Broadcasting System (MBS), presented as a promotional showcase for Lawrence E. Spivak's magazine, The American Mercury, which Spivak had acquired from Alfred Knopf in 1935.

Eventually contemplating a Radio showcase for The American Mercury, Spivak enlisted the talents of one of The American Mercury's freelance reporters, Miss Martha Rountree, who'd already worked in Radio. Spivak, primarily a business manager, asked Miss Rountree to review his concept for the radio show. It was Miss Rountree that subsequently created the new radio program, coining it The American Mercury Presents Meet the Press, on June 24, 1945.

On November 6, 1947 while still airing on MBS, it began airing over the NBC Television network as, simply, Meet the Press. The Radio program also adopted the new name. Miss Rountree's creation at that point, Lawrence Spivak partnered with her as co-producer and business partner shortly after Meet The Press premiered over NBC Television. A program called Meet the Press had previously aired over NBC's WMAQ in 1943 [see review below], presented in a 15-minute format dramatizing accounts of news reporters and journalists. Given NBC's ownership of the program title, it seemed a perfect title for the new Television program and its Radio counterpart, over competitor network, MBS.

The format of Meet the Press was initially presented as a 30-minute press conference with a single guest and a panel of reporters, journalists, critics, and political pundits. The program occasionally devoted an entire hour to the program for coverage of special events or political opportunities. Meet the Press' first moderator and host was Miss Martha Rountree. She stepped down November 1, 1953, and was replaced by Ned Brooks, a frequent panelist and substitute moderator, who assumed the moderator/host position with the November 1, 1953 broadcast. Lawrence Spivak, a regular panelist, subsequently assumed that role with the broadcast of January 1, 1966. Lawrence Spivak ultimately retired on November 9, 1975, relinquishing the role to Bill Monroe, who served as moderator until June 2, 1984.
