None of my dogs are barkers - but they all bark occasionally in the middle of the night (once or twice). They just hear something. I guess this is why they are called "watch dogs."
During these episodes, I have discovered a skunk on the back porch, a racoon on the back porch, and once saw deer in the backyard --- other times, I haven't been able to see what they got excited about, but I'm sure something was out there.
Interestingly - unlike you - when my TV or radio are on, they are less apt to bark because they don't notice outside noises as much.
