"Fox has indicated that The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s future is still undecided, but will feature format changes if renewed. The network&amp;#039;s programming boss Kevin Reilly admitted to press that the singing competition underperformed but insisted the show is &amp;quot;a number one brand around the world&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;Here is the deal, the show underperformed this year - Simon [Cowell] himself would admit that,&amp;quot; Reilly said (viaThe TV Page). &amp;quot;There were some very good things. I think they produced a really good show. The ratings were not what we had hoped, but this is a number one brand around the world.&amp;quot; Reilly explained that other versions of The X Factor around the world have improved with production changes. &amp;quot;[The X Factor] is the number one or two show in many markets around the world. During that life cycle, there have been markets where it has been down and they reanimated it with producing changes and different ideas.&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;I have heard some of those ideas, they are interesting. If the show were to come back, it would not be in the current format we have. We have made no decision on it.&amp;quot; Reilly concluded that he was due to discuss the future of the show with Cowell sometime soon before making a decision &amp;quot;in the next month&amp;quot;. In December, Cowell said he believed The X Factor USA would return but suggested his role may be different. &amp;quot;I think the show will be coming back next year,&amp;quot; he predicted. &amp;quot;As to my role on it, I might have a different kind of role, we haven&amp;#039;t discussed that yet.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
