Last night’s ratings are in, via TVByTheNumbers
Of course Fox won the night in adults 18-49 and total viewers, fueled by 90 minutes of American Idol that averaged a 6.4 adults 18-49 rating. That’s down 10% from last week, but Idol has typically seen adjustments up of two or three tenths of a ratings point in the finals, and Fox is projecting Idol will be 6% higher than the comparable telecast last year once the adjustments are made. Breaking In was up 4% from last week to a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating.
Plus, according to @FOX_Research on twitter, American Idol posted its biggest year to year performance show gain this season–up 18% vs. last year’s Top 5 in viewers (20.6m vs. 17.5m). Plus, Idol is also up 3% in adults 18-49 vs last year’s Top 5 performance show (6.4 vs. 6.2).
