O'Reilly's Obama Interview Outdraws Olberclown's
By Andrew Krukowski


During competing interviews with presidential hopeful Barack Obama, Bill O'Reilly's "The O'Reilly Factor" bested Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" by more than double the amount of viewers, while MSNBC's premiere of "The Rachel Maddow Show" beat CNN cornerstone "Larry King Live."

Both Mr. Olbermann and Mr. O'Reilly aired interviews with Sen. Obama ("Factor" aired its second part, while "Countdown" aired its first) Monday night at 8 p.m.

"Factor" brought in 4.6 million viewers, compared to "Countdown's" 1.9 million.

The first part of Mr. O'Reilly's interview with Sen. Obama on Friday, with 6.6 million viewers, marks "Factor's" second-highest viewership level ever.

Fox News rode a massive wave of viewership during last week's Republican National Convention, trumping the combined audience for CNN and MSNBC during prime-time hours each night of the GOP convention.

MSNBC did have something to boast about Monday, as the premiere of "The Rachel Maddow Show" at 9 p.m. Monday beat "Larry King Live" in total viewers. "Maddow" pulled in 1.5 million viewers, while "King" drove in 1.4 million.

Ms. Maddow, a radio personality on Air America, replaced "Verdict With Dan Abrams" in the 9 p.m. time slot.
