This article also states some changes such as LOWERING the auditioning age..WHAT are you kidding me...guess that tells you what they are looking for in next year's winner for their "marketing" strategy...
It's kind of the other way around. Simon Fuller sold 19E to CKX, and Lisa Marie Presley turned the management of Graceland over to CKX. (But she still owns it.) So they are both run by the same parent company.Quote:

Major 'American Idol' Changes Announced | Rolling Stone Music
Here's a rumor that's kicking around the internet:
Apparently, 242 people have received golden tickets to Hollywood. The Hollywood episodes are supposed to feature Q and A sessions and workshops so the viewers will get to know the contestants. 40-50 contestants will be featured prominently in the episodes, and viewers will be able to vote via online ballot for their favorites. The 12 highest vote getters will advance, with 3 more contestants advancing to the top 15 via a wildcard with Jimmy Iovine and the judges.
The online voting will take place at AT&T’s website. Auditions will take place for the first 6 episodes (California, Nashville, Milwaukee, New Jersey, Austin, New Orleans in that order). There will then be 5 Hollywood episodes, a live voting kick off episode that highlights the eligible contestants, a reveal episode to announce the top 12, and a wildcard episode to let 3 more people into the finals. The online voting may stay in place until the finals are down to 12.
Over a month of Hollywood - ugh!Quote:

I'd rather have a month of Hollywood than all of the bad auditions they usually do. If we could skip that and go right to Hollywood, I'd be happy.Quote:
