“Lost” will air at 9 p.m. Tuesdays instead of in its traditional Wednesday berth, ABC announced Thursday.

This suggests it will have to contend with Fox’s top-rated megahit “American Idol,” which often airs in both the 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots on Wednesdays.

I think this is “Lost’s” first time on Tuesday.

“Lost” started in 2004 at 8 p.m. Wednesdays, went to 9 p.m. Wednesdays for seasons two and three, hopped to Thursdays for season four (immediately following the writers’ strike), then bounced back to Wednesdays at 9 p.m. for season five.

Launch date for “Lost’s” sixth and final season, which is rumored to bring back just about every dead character it can (and not necessarily in flashbacks), is Feb. 2. (Busy Maggie Grace, who played Shannon, may be a key holdout.)

Carlton Cuse just indicated via Twitter that he and co-showrunner Damon Lindelof are currently rewriting the season's ninth episode.

Rumored titles for the first eight hours of season six:

6.1 LA X Part One
6.2 LA X Part Two
6.3 What Kate Does
6.4 The Substitute
6.5 Lighthouse
6.6 Sundown
6.7 Dr. Linus
6.8 Recon

The final season will feature 18 hours in all.
