"X Factor'' Gets a 2nd Season on Fox - NYTimes.com
Fox’s new singing competition, “The X Factor,” has won a second season. The network said Wednesday that it would bring the series back next year, potentially extending the scheduling pattern that features “X Factor” in the fall and “American Idol” in the spring.Mike Darnell, the president of alternative entertainment for Fox, said in a statement that the <a href="http://hospital.99mr.com/shanghaibodayiyuan/"><strong>博大医院</strong></a> decision to order a second season was a “complete no-brainer.”Regular telecasts of “The X Factor,” created by Simon Cowell, have averaged about 13.5 million viewers since the series started in September.

In an interview last week, Mr. Cowell said he had overstated the ratings potential of the series but he expected <a href="http://hospital.99mr.com/heilongjiangyangguangnvzi"><strong>阳光女*</strong></a> the ratings to pick up when the viewer voting period begins on Wednesday night.“When we go live,” he said, “I do think we’re going to see a real difference.”Last week, Fox announced that “X Factor” viewers would be able to vote by calling, texting, sending a Twitter direct message or using a Verizon mobile phone app.Mr. Darnell noted in his statement on Wednesday that “The X Factor” had “won every night it’s been on the air,” referring to the 18-to-49-year-old demographic. In that category, regular telecasts of the program have averaged a 4.7 rating and <a href="http://##############.thelambda.sk/displayimage.php?pos=-55"><strong>The Shopping Cart : tiffanycompany.org, Tiffay Outlet,Tiffany On Sale ...</strong></a> an 11 share.
