Ratings: American Idol holds steady, The Voice encore delivers

American Idol was the #1 show on Wednesday down 3% from last week (but most likely even with ratings adjustments).

Seriously: This is the show people want to watch on their TV. Nigel Lythgoe said that they will not change the voting next season which is a relief. Hopefully, we get the same type of show next season to guarantee another ratings win for FOX.

The Voice 'Encore' delivered strong ratings for a repeat. It even performed better than NBC original programming for the night, LOL.

From TVbytheNumbers:

With American Idol, Fox easily won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers. American Idol’s 6.9 rating was down 3% from last week, but the recent typical final adjustments are likely to increase that.

The only new episode on CBS Wednesday, Survivor: Redemption Island scored a series original low 3.0 adults 18-49 rating, down a tenth from last week.

A repeat of The Voice premiere episode for NBC delivered a surprisingly strong 2.1 adults 18-49 rating from 9-11pm. That will beat plenty of NBC original episodes this week.
