TMZ reports that NBC also hoped to rotate American Idol and The Voice with America’s Got Talent.
It sounds like there was more than one market for a new version of American Idol.
NBC Reality president Paul Telegdy even recently revealed that the network could be interested in splitting the TV year between a season of The Voice and a season of Idol.
The problems arose when co-owners Fremantle and Core evidently could not agree enough to make a counter offer to either Fox or NBC.
