TV FORMATS WORLDWIDE
Localizing Global Programs
Edited by Albert Moran
ISBN 9781841503066 pb £19.95, $35
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.
