CTV has acquired the new season of "American Idol" from FremantleMedia International for a midseason premiere.
The new iteration of the singing competition will anchor CTV Two’s schedule Sundays and Mondays at 8 PM ET/ 9 PM MT, beginning March 11, the same date it premieres on ABC in the U.S.
“American Idol is a historic franchise,” said Mike Cosentino, President, Content and Programming. “We are looking forward to reintroducing the series and its star-studded judging panel to Canadians as a new anchor for CTV Two.”
"American Idol" joins the previously announced pickup of three new CTV Two midseason comedies – "Living Biblically" (Feb. 26), "Splitting Up" (March 27), and "Alex, Inc." (March 28).
CTV Two also announced today the addition of two more series to the network: "Gotham", moving to a new Thursday at 8 PM ET / 9 PM MT time slot beginning March 1, and "Masterchef Junior", returning to CTV Two Fridays at 8 PM ET / 9 PM MT with a two-hour premiere on March 2.
