"Character and Conduct" Both set air Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Fox News Channel has set aside some key cable news real estate next week for one-hour documentaries on Barack Obama and John McCain.

"2008 Presidential Character and Conduct" will premiere at 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday in a time slot usually held by cable news' top-rated program, "The O'Reilly Factor." Bill O'Reilly will be off Monday and Tuesday, making way for Monday's Obama docu, hosted by Bill Hemmer, and Tuesday's McCain docu, hosted by Eric Shawn. Pamela Browne is the executive producer of both programs.

"This is an in-depth, detailed examination that's beyond what has
been broadcast in terms of these typical type of biographies," said
Shawn, who like Hemmer is an anchor at the channel.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i6e7defe28b82d056a1e31396d8c2fb61"><DIV>

McCain earlier this year. But Shawn said the focus isn't on what
the candidates say but instead what they do when faced with
challenges.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i6e7defe28b82d056a1e31396d8c2fb61"><DIV>
