Final Broadcast Ratings: January 8, 2015
Night two of the AMERICAN IDOL premiere helped lead FOX to a sweep in the ratings, for Thursday night. The two hour episode hauled in 11.2 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That is mostly even with the previous night's one hour episodes. The ratings infusion will be a much needed boost for FOX, which has had a hard, hard fall in the ratings.
CBS was a close second place, in the nightly averages, but boasts the two most watched shows of the night, BIG BANG and MOM, with THE BIG BANG THEORY on top as the #1 show of the night. BIG BNAG is up, from its previous original episode a month earlier, by 2.5 million viewers and 18% in the demo. MOM had a similar increase from its last original, a week before Christmas Day.
ABC and NBC were mostly irrelevant, THE TASTE ranked fourth from 8 to 10 p.m., while A TO Z was the least watched and lowest rated original program of the night. Only NBC's PARENTHOOD managed to compete during the 10 p.m. hour, which had very weak competition, even from CBS.
