Despite Bill O’Reilly Ouster, ‘The Factor’ Still Tops Cable News Ratings Wednesday

Fox News program jumps 47 percent in key demo with Dana Perino as substitute host

Subbing for the fired Bill O’Reilly on the newly renamed (and temporary) “The Factor,” Perino pulled in 3.3 million total viewers, with 625,000 of them coming from the advertiser-sought 25-54 demographic.

Both were good enough to make the “Factor” No. 1 across cable news on the same evening O’Reilly was shown the door.
