The 12th season premiere of "American Idol" Wednesday was down 19 percent in viewership, according to hollywoodreporter.com.
The Fox reality singing competition drew 17.81 million viewers, down from 21.9 million in January 2012. But it was ahead of 10.7 million who watched NBC's hit series "The Voice" premiere last fall, reported the website.
Even though it was "Idol's" lowest-rated in-season premiere, Fox still won the night in the ratings. The two-hour opener gave Fox "the highest-rated night with entertainment programming of any network so far this season and outrated ABC, CBS and NBC combined by 11 percent," according to the website.
Part two of the "AI" season premiere, with new judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban, airs Thursday 7-9 p.m. on channel 23, cable 5 in Tulsa.
