American Idol 10 to return to 30-minute results show

According to the FOX Press Release this morning, American Idol Season 10 will return to a 30-minute results show in 2011 and air at 8:30 pm.

Hmmm... things can always change. American Idol and Dancing with the Stars have gotten away with a 1-hour results show and they still dominate the ratings -- probably just a "place-holder" for FOX at this point in their scheduling.
