   CBS announced  Sunday, that their Sunday morning political affairs program "Face The Nation" will be changing to  a full hour in spring 2012. The program has been 30  minutes since it started in 1954 , the 2nd oldest Sunday talk show has been the only show not to be expanded or start at 1 hour in length. Currently hosted by Bob Schieffer , who started about 20 years ago, it's ratings have been going up beating ABC'S "This Week"and coming near the leader "Meet The Press".
