Wednesday Ratings: X Factor Ratings Still Suck

A year ago, The X Factor Wednesday edition notched a 2.2 rating and a little over 7 million viewers. Compare that to last night’s 1.6 rating and 5.25 million viewers. As it did last year, Survivor beat X Factor’s ratings, but even by a wider margin.

I threw in a bit about CSI due to a guest appearance by Idol season 6 winner, Jordin Sparks.
Via TV By The Numbers

On CBS, Survivor earned a 2.4, down a tenth from last week’s 2.5 adults 18-49 rating. CSI matched a season high with a 2.1, up two tenths from last week’s 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. On FOX, The X Factor earned a 1.6, down a tenth from last week’s 1.7 adults 18-49 rating. Nashville notched a 1.6, up a tenth from last week’s 1.5 adults 18-49 rating.
