American Idol hit another series low. The iHeartMusic Awards didn’t deliver gangbuster ratings either (still beat Idol), but the ratings rose compared to NBC’s typical dismal Thursday night ratings.
American Idol earned a series low 1.5, down 17 percent from last week’s 1.8 adults 18-49 rating. On NBC, The iHeartRadio Music Awards earned a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating, tying NBC’s best non Olympics orSound of Music Live! Thursday night this season. (The other Thursday that NBC averaged a 1.7 featured a special episode of The Voice.)
