Wednesday Ratings: American Idol 11 Finale Lowest Rated Ever

The ratings are in from TV By The Numbers

On FOX, American Idol’s finale results show earned a 6.1 rating, which is down 32% from last year’s finale (which earned a 9.2/26, with 29 million viewers) and is the lowest-rated finale ever for the series. However, the finale was up from last week’s results show, which earned a 4.9 adults 18-49 rating.

Lowest rated finale ever for the series? Dang. I hope Nigel Lythgoe and his producers get right to work, now that the season is over, to figure out how they can tweak the formula for next season.
