Final Broadcast Ratings: March 11, 2018

With the reboot of AMERICAN IDOL, ABC powers its way to a Sunday night sweep, averaging 8.2 million viewers and a 1.7 rating in Adults 18-49. The premiere of AI drew 10.5 million viewers and a 2.3 rating in Adults 18-49, that is down 500,000 total viewers and over 20% in the A18-49 demographic, from the last season premiere, in 2016. In today's TV landscape, that is a pretty good restart for the series. The new crime drama, DECEPTION, followed AMERICAN IDOL, retaining just 59% of total viewers and 57% in the demo.
