11:19 a.m. "There is no decision. I love him. He's doing what he should do as a producer," Reilly says of Simon Cowell's claim that "X Factor" may come back. He admits that FOX is disappointed by ratings, but emphasizes how well the brand has done around the world. "If the show were to come back, it would not be in the current format we have," Reilly says. They have an option date in the next week, but they probably won't decide for another. "He's never going to be out of it. It's his format. It's his creation," he says of Simon Cowell, though he may not be on-camera.
11:21 a.m. "I wish 'The Voice' would go away first," Reilly says of the idea that "X Factor" and "Idol" are crowding each other out. "I don't ever count Simon Cowell out," he says.
Kevin Reilly is FOX Entertainment Chairman in case you were wondering.
He also talks about how they are looking to shorten the amount of episodes to 8 weeks and how if it were to be brought back, MAJOR changes would be made.

The voice really ****ed XF badly. Yes is better, better produced but it really took away a lot from XF.
They won, and continue winning even AI is no longer the queen.
I'd hope they'd slow down cuz two seasons a year
And XF would be much better during the summer it's schedule is so ****ed up since season 1 and haven't fixed it yet. That month break always messed it up.
I read they're planning on a format similar to BGT UK, a number of weeks dedicated to auditions and then a couple of weeks dedicated to middle rounds, then four live shows in a week followed by a finale with the winner voted in.
Oh and they have to keep Kelly, she was a success last year! Although if Simon is going a brand new panel will probably work better for the show
They already have American Idol . They don't need X factor. Why hold on to a flop show when you already have a another show just like it that's a hit. Let it go.
They shoudl try for another season Alex & Sierraa could save the show they only need a big stars from the US Alex And Sierra would be big i can already feel it.
Some changes would help maybe start the show earlier and not doing shows during Halloween or Thanksgiving like all years + eliminate that month between the audition & Live shows. Fired Paulina! Simon and Kelly should stay
This. They just need to go ahead and cancel this and American Idol
They get paid around 300K for every 10 second commercial during the broadcast of American Idol. (was a lot more before) I'm pretty sure they wouldn't cancel that.
+ eliminate that month between the audition & Live shows. Fired Paulina! Simon and Kelly should stay
