Posted by Joseph Lee on 01.24.2013
Idol still doing well...
While American Idol was down from its premiere (losing almost 2 million viewers and six-tenths of a point in the demographic) but still was enough for FOX to dominate the night. CSI had a season high in the demographic for CBS. Meanwhile, ABC's Modern Family was down slightly but The Middle was about even with last week.
FOX won with 16 million viewers and a 9.3 rating/14 share in households (down from 17.9 million last week). It was followed by CBS (10 million, 6.4/10), ABC (7.15 million, 4.5/7), The CW (2.61 million, 1.6/2) and NBC (2.5 million, 1.8/3).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, FOX won with a 5.4 rating, followed by ABC (2.4), CBS (2.4), The CW (1.0) and NBC (0.8).
