Ratings: 'American Idol' defeats the Olympics
Advertisement
American Idol took ratings gold Tuesday, topping the night and the 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. hours. NBC’s Olympics coverage, featuring a competitive night of men’s figure skating, nabbed silver by building its audience from 17.4 million to 22.4 million over the course of primetime. CBS’ NCIS took bronze with a repeat. Lost, which dropped about a million viewers from its premiere to week 2, was down roughly another million in week 3 — and finished just off the podium.
