OK, so over the past 15 years (I can't believe it's actually been that long) I've been one of American Idol's biggest critics.

The New Year is an opportunity wipe the slate clean and start fresh. An opportunity to put to rest the things in our lives that caused us stress, grief, gastrointestinal anguish, or whatever. With that said, to say the following five things caused me any of those emotions would be a stretch. They are simply five things that have overstayed their welcome, and I think it's time to move on.

FOX made the announcement that they will be cancelling American Idol after it's 15th season in January 2016. The Rob & Kat asked the tristate their thoughts... are you still watching or have you given up?

Now that Upfronts 2015 have entered the scheduling phase, we thought most of the major renewals, cancellations and pickups had delivered their biggest surprises. Not so apparently, as FOX has decided to put American Idol out to pasture after 15 seasons, ending the reality singing competition for good next year.

It's the end of an era! The longstanding reality TV series will return for a final season in January in 2016.

Justin Guarini is back on TV, showing off his impressive vocal chords in a new commercial for Diet Dr. Pepper.

Auditions for the 14th season of American Idol is well underway with some hopefuls being sent back home, while others, including two with ties to the Tri-State area getting that magical ticket to Hollywood.

According to sources at E! News, long-standing singing competition ‘American Idol’ will no longer be airing twice a week. Instead, the show will have both the performances and results airing in only one weekly episode.

It looks like Ryan Seacrest will soon be the only original member of 'American Idol' left on the show. The Hollywood Reporter is saying that former judge Randy Jackson has announced that he is officially leaving 'Idol' for good.

Phillip Phillips talks 'Thicket' and the bravery that comes with putting out a new album.

Last Tuesday, Kat and I, along with Rick Williams from the University of Evansville, teamed up with FOX44 to judge Evansville Idol!  45 singers from the Evansville area signed up to sing in the Eastland Mall to compete for a Silver Ticket Audition Pass in Nashville!

Last week, 106.1 KISS-FM teamed up with FOX44 to put on Evansville Idol.  The winner, Cody Webb, won himself a Silver Ticket Audition Pass in Nashville.  We talked to him about how his audition went earlier today.
