American Idol Holds Top 2 Spots For Adults 18-49
Fox’s American Idol continues to hold the top 2 spots for season to date (STD) adults 18-49, the group most coveted by advertisers, through June 29, 2008.
Rounding out the top 10 were the Tuesday airing of House, NBC Sunday Night Football, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Moment of Truth, Heroes, Monday’s Dancing With the Stars and Lost.
Although the 2007-8 broadcast prime-time season is “officially” over, technically the season extends until the new season begins in September, 2008 and we will continue to report the season to date ratings.
