NBC and FOX are going full bore against each other to bring “American Idol” back.
We’re told both networks have submitted bids to FremantleMedia — which owns the show — and a decision could come as early as this week.
We’re also told NBC has Ryan Seacrest as the favored host the second time around, and FOX would also entertain bringing Ryan back.
Our sources say the target date for bringing ‘Idol’ back is either Summer 2018 or mid-season 2019.
