New York -- Fox announced it is moving "American Idol" to Wednesday night and then will shift it again to Thursday starting in January.

"Idol" currently airs Tuesday, but the plan calls for the talent contest to air on both Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning in January.

The Hollywood Reporter said Fox's goal is to use "Idol" as a lead-in to its "Human Target" series on Wednesday and at the same time compete with the new CBS series "Live to Dance," which stars Paula Abdul.

Thursday is generally the highest advertising revenue night in U.S. prime time. "Idol" will also give a boost to the new Fox reality series "Million Dollar Drop." The struggling "Fringe" will be moved to Friday, The Hollywood Reporter said.

New York -- U.S. markets plunged Tuesday, following sharp drops in Asia and Europe triggered by fears of slowing growth in China.

Bill Adams, the Conference Board's resident economist in Beijing, said Monday leading economic indicators in China "have been moderating since the middle of last year, suggesting there is no strong basis for assuming accelerating growth."

The Conference Board's report helped spark a sell off in China with the Shanghai composite index down 4.27 percent.

Markets fell more than 1 percent in most of Asia and were off more than 2 percent in most of Europe in midday trading.
