FOX announced today that American Idol will begin its 15th – and farewell – season with a special two-night, four-hour premiere event Wednesday, Jan. 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Jan. 7 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT)!
Idol will then continue on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursdays (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). This probably explains why NBC moved the premiere of Shades of Blue up by one week to January 7; A two-hour premiere on January 14 would have had Jennifer competing against herself from 9:00-10:00.
