What’s This TV Show About?

An ABC revival of the old FOX reality TV series music competition, American Idol typically airs on Sundays and Mondays. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan serve as judges in season 16 on ABC, with Ryan Seacrest returning as host. After making it through the nationwide audition process, the contestant pool is narrowed through a series of elimination rounds. Once the contest reaches the semi-finals, although the judges offer their criticism, the decision to keep or cut a performer is up to the viewing audience. For a specified window of time, fans may vote for their favorites, via phone call, text messages, and online. At stake is the “American Idol” title and a recording contract.

 

Season 16 Ratings

The first night (Sunday) of the 16th season of American Idol averaged a 1.67 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.98 million viewers. Compared to the 2016 Wednesday editions on FOX, that’s down by 29% in the demo and down by 15% in viewers.

The second night (Monday) of season 16 averaged a 1.58 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.75 million viewers. Compared to the 2016 Thursday editions on FOX, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 15% in viewers. Find out how American Idol stacks up against other ABC TV shows.

Yeah, FremantleMedia should be in talks to revive The X Factor USA for Fox or any other channels. I missed that show so much.

I’d rather want Fremantle Media to be in talks to revive The X Factor for Fox, CBS or NBC. Because this show was way better than American Idol.
