How's this for going out on top — in what will likely be the final full quarter for Brit Hume as anchor of Special Report, the program enjoyed its highest quarterly average ever in Total Viewers.

Also performing well for FNC was Studio B with Shepard Smith (second highest quarter ever in Total Viewers), Your World with Neil Cavuto (second highest), Hannity & Colmes (second highest), The O'Reilly Factor (third highest) and On the Record with Greta Van Susteren (third highest).

This was Fox News Channel's 27th consecutive quarter as the #1 news channel. And Q3 2008 was the network's second best quarter of all time in Total Viewers.
