American Idol Moves from California to Georgia
The popular singing competition American Idol is moving to the state of Georgia for its new season, following a 25-year history in Los Angeles.
Filmed in Los Angeles for twenty-five years, the popular singing competition American Idol has decided to move to the Atlanta area in the state of Georgia for its silver anniversary.
Georgia Will Be the Show's New Address
The famous singing competition American Idol is leaving Los Angeles after a 25-year history and moving to the Atlanta area of Georgia. According to a statement by a spokesperson for the production company, the new season of the show will take place in this region.
A New Loss for Hollywood
This move is evaluated as another economic loss for Hollywood as producers turn to other states offering better tax advantages. Georgia's attractive film tax credits play an influential role in attracting productions to the region.
American Idol from Past to Present
Starting to air on the Fox network in 2002, the competition quickly became one of television's most-watched programs and introduced many star names to the music world. The program later transferred to the ABC network.
