American Idol returns next year ... this time on ABC

American Idol, the show that originally aired on FOX from 2002 to 2016, will return to the air, not on FOX, but this time on the Disney owned television network ABC. This is the show that brought the world Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, Chris Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Casey James, Scotty McCreery, Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone, Pia Toscano, Phillip Phillips, and Jessica Sanchez.

So far one judge has been named: Katy Perry. Ryan Seacrest has been confirmed to be the host. I predict that the other judges will be Lionel Richie and Charlie Puth. Auditions began on August 17 in Orlando, Florida, and will continue in several other cities across the United States.
