'American Idol 6's second night delivers more record-breaking ratings By Christopher Rocchio, 01/18/2007 Last night's broadcast of Fox's American Idol 6 auditions from Seattle, WA saw some of the worst contestants ever to try out for the reality competition, but it still delivered the smash-hit reality show's highest rated Wednesday premiere numbers ever among total viewers and the Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34 demographics. ADVERTI T Results released today by Nielsen's preliminary Fast National ratings show last night's episode was down slightly in its number of total viewers, 36.9 million, when compared to Tuesday night's 37.3 million. But it was still Fox's second highest-rated night ever in entertainment programming in total viewers. It was also the second-highest rated primetime telecast of the 2006/2007 season on any network among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34, total viewers and Teens. So what ratings juggernaut did it finish second to? Tuesday night's premiere broadcast of Idol. The episode scored a 15.4/36 rating/share among Adults 18-49, a 14.2/37 rating/share among Adults 18-34 and a 13.2/36 rating/share among Teens. Compared to last year's Wednesday premiere of Idol 5 on January 18, last night's episode of Idol 6 was up 18 among Adults 18-49, 15 among Adults 18-34, 9 among Teens and 17 in total viewers (36.9 million vs. 31.6 million).
