Hmmm, I wonder how long this ratings spike for Showbiz will last? Maybe some of the “new” viewers might decide to stick around..

It would be an interesting question to ask considering how many other things there are to watch during the 8/11 pm hour, not to mention if this will only be as long as ANS last. Overall though, it could be a sign of the program getting an audience following people possibly liking how they covered the whole ANS issue, I mean, FNC only became overwhelming popular after 9/11 if I remember right.

I believe Showbiz was live on Oscar night. Since it’s new timeslot, it has been taped; but has it been live some nights since the ANS story began?
