FNC had a big night; boosted by big numbers for The Fox Report with Shepard Smith and The O’Reilly Factor. Countdown handily beat Paula Zahn Now. Countdown had an exceptionally strong Demo percentage last night as well with nearly half of its viewers being age 25-54. When MSNBC started its Doc block it was to boost the overall ratings for the network in primetime. But these days the Doc Block is now the weak link in the prime time schedule for the network, turning in numbers significantly lower than its live primetime shows.
