Idol, Down, But By No Means Out, With The Count
28 February 2013
Even with its lowest ratings since 2002, American Idol still beat all of its competition in total viewers Wednesday night -- handily. The talent show attracted 13.15 million viewers, fewer than half the viewers that it regularly drew just a few years ago. Still, its competition had little to complain about. ABC's Modern Family tied Idol among the 18-49 set in the 9:00 p.m. half hour, the first time that it had done so. And, with 9.4 million viewers, CBS's Survivor: Caramoan remained a force to be reckoned with despite also experiencing a ratings downturn. Even struggling NBC got some good news Wednesday night. Its Chicago Fire drew more 18-49-year-old viewers at 10:00 p.m. than any other program in that hour. But with 6.5 million total viewers, it was beaten by CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation with 9.3 million.
