Another easy win for Fox

While "American Idol" is on the air, it seems to be only a question of what network will finish second behind Fox. That was actually a tie for the latest week. Fox was well out ahead with a Household rating of 6.8 and an 11 share. CBS and NBC tied at 5.0/8, with ABC at 4.0/7, Univision 1.7/3, CW 1.6/3, MyNetworkTV 0.8/1, Telemundo 0.5/1, Ion 0.4/1, TeleFutura 0.3/0 and Azteca America 0.1/0.

In the key 18-49 demo, it was again Fox well out in front, followed by NBC, a tie by ABC and CBS, Univision, CW, MyNetworkTV, Telemundo, TeleFutura, and a tie by Azteca America and Ion.

With only two nights of Idol, another show got to claim 3rd place in the HH ratings. That was "Law & Order" on NBC.

Here are the top 20 shows.
