Thursday Ratings: X Factor is Up, While Glee Dips

FOX won the night, X Factor was up from last week, but  declined in from last year. Glee ratings declined from last week.

Fox dominated each of its four half hours last night thanks to The X Factor (7.0 rating/12 share) and relocated Glee (5.3/ 9).  But The X Factor declined by 19 percent from the first half of its two-hour installment on the year-ago evening (8.8/14 on 9/22/11) and ABC and CBS do not roll out their new Thursday line-ups until next week.  A more realistic test, particularly for Glee, will come next week when the competition will include Grey’s Anatomy, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and Person of Interest.  Retention for Glee out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of The X Factor (7.5/12) was 71 percent.

Yes. The REAL test will begin next week when the new season begins and all the shows are back from repeats. I’m a little afraid for both X Factor and Glee
