This season, there’s no worries of American Idol being cancelled. FOX has already decided that this will be the last season. The original hosts are expected to return at some point. Will millions of viewers? Stay tuned.
Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, American Idol will air twice a week for part of the season, on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez, and Keith Urban return to the judge’s table.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
4/8 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The Thursday editions of the 14th season of American Idol averaged a 2.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.60 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the American Idol TV show? Do you think it should be ending? Should FOX bring it back for a 16th season instead?

Agreed, this is the best season ever and beats any other music talent show on TV. I will definitely miss Idol and the only part of The Vooice I ever watch is the Blind Auditions
It’s too bad the viewers who gave up on the show are missing out on the best season ever. As for me, I’m enjoying performances by artists like Sia, and powerhouse competitors like Trent Harmon and LaPorsha Renae. As for adorable Dalton Rappatoni, he could join an alternative band right now.
Actually Dalton WAS in both a boy band (IM5) and alternative band (Fly Away Hero). Ironically Idol creator Simon Fuller was/is one of the managers of the boy band. Dalton was in IM5 from 2012-2014 and in Fly Away Hero before being in the boy band and after he left the boy band.

I really wanted Dalton to win.
dalton can never be in a band. if he could have, he would have already done it even without idol. rock bands aren’t formed by recruiting famous individuals. you must be talking about boy bands.
No, it should not end. I have watched every year of it and this year’s talent is the best I have seen.
