Wednesday Final Nationals: Fox Gets Slight Boost with New Time Slot for ‘Hell’s Kitchen’

CBS was Wednesday’s most-watched network with 7.82 million viewers.

Fox won in all key demos with the combo of “American Idol” and, on its new night, “Hell’s Kitchen” which moved from its previous Friday 9 p.m. time where it had aired the prior two weeks (and to where the slumping “Second Chance” will air beginning Jan. 29).

Comparatively from its previous Wednesday, Fox saw increases on the night due to the “Hell’s Kitchen” move among total viewers (+6 percent), adults 18-49 (+12 percent), adults 18-34 (+9 percent) and adults 25-54 (+13 percent).
