ABC’s “American Idol” suffered another double-digit ratings decline on Monday night, as NBC’s “The Voice” continued its primetime singing competition dominance.
“Idol” dipped by another two-tenths of a Nielsen point — or about 11 percent — versus the comparable episode last week. The show’s key demo decline from Sunday evening was about six percent.
As a result, NBC finished first again for the weeknight in 8-11 p.m. averages, while ABC came in second. Hey — at least the latter net won at 10!
