A decade later, at its peak in 1963, This Week was distributed with the Sunday editions of 42 newspapers for a total circulation of 14.6 million.

Nichols became editor of the magazine in June 1943, just before the death of Meloney the same month, and a year later the magazine started to turn a profit. In 1948, This Week surpassed the American Weekly as the top American newspaper supplement in terms of advertising revenue. Nichols turned the financial fortunes of This Week around by "shunning anything controversial": "I'm neither pious nor preachy, but my first principle is success and [decency] has paid off in success.
