Idol’s still tops on the tube. Tuesday night’s return American Idol, now in its ninth season, pulled in 29.8 million viewers between 8pm and 10pm last night, according to early estimates.
This year’s Boston auditions, which featured former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham as a guest judge, peaked with 32.32m in the half hour from 9 PM. Overall, the audience was almost in line with last year’s Jan. 13 opener, which drew 30.4 million.
The new season of FOX’s Idol will be the series’ first without veteran judge Paula Abdul and the last with acid-tongued Brit Simon Cowell. Cowell will leave the program in May to develop an American adaptation of his UK talent show, The X Factor.
