American singing competition "American Idol" is practicing addition and subtraction in its 14th season.
According to media reports on Wednesday, in the new season, longtime judge Randy Jackson is gone. Instead, music executive Scott Borchetta will replace him.
"American Idol" is a popular American singing competition series created by Simon Fuller and produced by 19 Entertainment. It started in 2002 and has already run 13 seasons.
"American Idol" will cut back to a two-hour show once a week. The coming season will have an hour-long episode on Wednesday and a two-hour episode on Thursday. The live shows will start in mid-March.
All the contestants will be on hand for the live episodes, "dressed, ready and with their songs rehearsed," only to find out who is being eliminated, said executive producer Trish Kinane.
The results won't be announced at the beginning of the show, but in a "more dramatic way," she said.
