FOX, also known as Network that whoores every show for every penny, moved American Idol into 3x weekly showings - and the ratings are still huge. It seemed that the 18-49's spent the night in after Idol - with notably higher than usual ratings in this demographic for most shows.
....Its interesting to note that "Idol" isn't suffering the landslide declines that its British forefather did - as the momentum and hype for its US counterpart seems to be continous.
