American Idol Ratings Fall Again

AMERICAN IDOL XIV: Katherine Winston performs at House of Blues for the IDOL SHOWCASE airing Wednesday, Feb. 18 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Feb. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). CR: Michael Becker / FOX.  © 2015 FOX Broadcasting.

American Idol Thursday edition fell a few 10ths of a point vs last week’s episode. Unlike last week, it aired against a fresh episode of The Big Bang theory, so that couldn’t have helped.

On FOX, American Idol notched a 2.1, down 9 percent from last week’s 2.3 adults 18-49 rating.
