With Ratings Down and AT&T Out, ‘American Idol’ Faces Costly 13th Season – Adding to the costly line items on the show’s already heavy balance sheet is a monstrous new set, which executive producer Evan Prager says aims to provide “energy and intimacy,” but is reported to have cost the production (shared by FremantleMedia, CORE Media Group, its subsidiary 19 Entertainment and Fox) north of $5 million. There are also multiple producers on the payroll including Den of Thieves (comprising MTV vets Jesse Ignjatovic and Prager) and former Swedish Idol executive producer Per Blankens as well as former EPs Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick (still reportedly collecting paychecks despite being fired in 2013). What there isn’t is a lucrative sponsorship by AT&T, which bailed on the franchise after 12 seasons. (Facebook and Google have come in to facilitate dynamic voting, but at a fraction of AT&T’s buy-in.) To make matters worse, “Idol” also missed its advertising rate base. A 30-second spot now runs $310,000, down 10% from 2013. Ratings have been off by as much as 26%. All of these factors have contributed to the first instance where “Idol” could possibly end up in the red — or breaking even at best. – Read more at Billboard
