>
> Beginning around 2003, television studies has 
> seen the growth of interest in the genre of 
> reality shows. However, concentrating on this 
> genre has tended to sideline the even more 
> significant emergence of the program format as a 
> central mode of business and culture in the new 
> television landscape. TV Formats Worldwide 
> redresses this balance, and heralds the 
> emergence of an important, exciting and 
> challenging area of television studies. Topics 
> explored include reality TV, makeover programs, 
> sitcoms, talent shows and fiction serials, as 
> well as broadcaster management policies, 
> production decision chains and audience 
> participation processes. The seminal work will 
> be of considerable interest to media scholars internationally.
>
> About the Editor
