Description: American Idol is packing up and heading south to Georgia, joining a growing wave of top TV shows like The Masked Singer and Shark Tank that are ditching California for the Peach State’s more flexible tax incentives.

This move signals a major shift in TV production, as Atlanta emerges as a powerhouse destination for hit shows. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
