FOX takes another Wednesday night, with AMERICAN IDOL, as CBS continues to air repeats from 9 - 11p.m. AI was mostly flat from the previous week, which is good news the network as the season has been really bad.

SURVIVOR posted season highs on Wednesday, collecting 10.3 million viewers and a 2.9 demo rating. It was the nights second most watched program and had the second best A18-49 ratings.

Also enjoying a bit of good ratings was LAW & ORDER: SVU. It was in second place during the 9 p.m. with 7.4 million viewers and a 1.9 demo rating. It was the difference in making NBC 3rd on the night and not 4th on the night.
