‘American Idol’ Hits Premiere Low
Posted in: UncategorizedFox’s “American Idol” returned on Wednesday to its worst premiere ratings in the history of the show.
Despite the addition of new judge Harry Connick Jr. and the return of former judge Jennifer Lopez, season 13 of “Idol” bowed to 15.2 million viewers, a 15% drop from last season’s premiere. It declined 22% in the 18-to-49 demographic that many advertisers prize.
But “Idol” did best its most recent finale, which drew just 14.3 million viewers, and didn’t fall below NBC’s “The Voice,” whose most recent premiere drew 14.9 million viewers. “The Voice” outperformed in the 18-to-49 demo, however, by more than 10%.
