    Say goodnight, broadcast season.   FOX:  AMERICAN IDOL‘s season finale did what the show’s done all season:  win the night convincingly, but at a significantly lower level than it’s ever been before.  The final episode, currently at a preliminary 6.1, will be just around 30% below last year, and FOX will no doubt […]

> X marked the spot for network television last night. FOX:  With very little in the way of competition, X FACTOR easily won the night for FOX.  But the rating for the first part of its season finale was one of its lowest (Thanksgiving Eve excluded), which makes it less of a disappointment than Terra […]
