Monday Ratings: ABC’s ‘American Idol’ Squashes ‘American Song Contest’ on NBC

MONDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

© by ABC

Monday 4/04/22

Total Viewers:
ABC: 4.91 million, CBS: 3.17, Fox: 1.90, NBC: 1.51, CW: 293

Adults 18-49:
ABC: 0.5 rating/4 share, CBS and Fox: 0.3/ 2 each, NBC: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

Only two networks, ABC and NBC, were in original telecasts on this first Monday in April. Once again, veteran “American Idol” on ABC squashed competing “American Song Contest” on NBC. Take a look:

Monday/8-10 p.m. ET
“American Idol” (ABC)
Viewers: 5.47 million (#1 for the night); A18-49: 0.6 rating/5 share (#1 for the night)

“American Song Contest” (NBC)
Viewers: 1.60 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#2t)

The moral of this story: We are maxed out on singing competitions!

At 10 p.m., ABC’s recently renewed “The Good Doctor” (Viewers: #1, 3.78 million; A18-49: #1, 0.4/ 3) also had an advantage over freshman NBC drama “The Endgame” (Viewers: #3, 1.34 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.2/ 2).
