Some American Idol fans missed out on Sunday’s special night of San Diego auditions because the NFC Championship Game ran long, so Fox will repeat the episode Tuesday at 8 pm in Glee’s timeslot.
Not everyone missed the episode, however, Entertainment Weekly is saying that, according to preliminary ratings, American Idol earned a 7.9 rating among adults 18-49 and drew 19.8 million viewers.
The Glee spot the repeat is taking was going to be a re-run itself, so Fox is likely to pick up more viewers for re-airing the San Diego auditions.
American Idol 2012 is back Wednesday at 8 pm with a new round of auditions.
