Ratings: Fox Tops Night With ‘Idol’ Finale, ‘Modern Family’ Wedding Scores

CBS is second with “Survivor” season finale

Fox won Wednesday with the “American Idol” finale, while ABC had the night’s top show in the “Modern Family” wedding.

CBS finished in second place with its “Survivor” finale and post-show, though the lineup overran by 13 minutes, so numbers for the network are approximate.

If the “Idol” numbers hold, it will mark the show’s lowest-rated finale ever.
