HOME > American Idol > American Idol 3Second 'American Idol 3' episode draws 28.6 million viewers
The ratings of the second episode of FOX's third season of American Idol might have been down significantly from Monday's first episode of the program's special three-night premiere week, but Idol was still far and away the most-watched program of the night.
The performance was slightly lower than the 29 million viewers that tuned it for Monday's Idol premiere, and given Bush's 9 PM ET address and the network's 10 PM ET broadcasts of post-speech analysis and the Democratic response to Bush's address, the numbers were enough to make the show the most-watched program of the night by far. American Idol's third season "premiere week" concludes Wednesday, January 21 at 8 PM ET. Next week the program will move into its regular Tuesdays 8:00-9:00 PM ET timeslot, with its usual Wednesdays 8:30-9:00 PM ET timeslot expanded to 8:00-9:00 PM ET as the program's regional auditions comclude. Then, America will watch the 119 contestants chosen from around the nation continue their auditions in Hollywood on Tuesday, February 3 at 8:00-9:00 PM ET and discover who survived the judges to become semifinalists during the Wednesday, February 4 8:30-9:30 PM ET broadcast.
