American Idol is held up well against the premiere of the new Season of Survivor last night (Which was down 29% from last Spring’s premiere. Ouch):
American Idol ratings slipped from last Wednesday’s one hour episode, but Fox still easily won the ratings race on the night. NBC finished behind Univision for adults 18-49.
American Idol’s 8.1 adults 18-49 rating was down 8% from last Wednesday, and 21% from last season’s fifth Tuesday (10.2 rating, not sure if that was a 2 hr. ep).
CBS’s Survivor: Redemption Island premiered with a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating, down 29% vs. last spring’s premiere.
