No Autumn Wars?
Come autumn, the press are full of Strictly vs X Factor articles. Very boring, I'm sure you'll agree.
Yesterday in California, Simon Cowell announced that he'll be leaving American Idol after the upcoming season to launch The X Factor in the US. Boring, also.
However, what is interesting is the potential that The X Factor could move in the UK.
American Idol is a spring series on Fox, which means The X Factor US (which will be comissioned by Fox) would likely be schedulled in the autumn.
The Guardian suggests that ITV could move The X Factor UK out of the autumn to allow Cowell to appear on both sides of the Atlantic. Which means no more clashing.
Of course, Cowell could do a 'Len & Bruno' and appear on both shows at the same time. But I'd prefer to see the end of the clash, and let both shows attract bigger audiences instead of forcing viewers to choose (although in my mind there is no choice to be made when Strictly is on!).
Of course, none of this matters until 2011, but certainly something to think about.
