Few trends have had as much impact on television as formats have in
recent years. Long confined to the fringes of the TV industry, they
have risen to prominence since the late 1990s. Today, they are a
global business with hundreds of programmes adapted across the
world at any one time, from mundane game shows to blockbuster
talent competitions, from factual entertainment to high-end drama.
Based on exclusive industry access, this book provides an in-depth
analysis of the complex world of the TV format from its origins to
the present day. Chalaby delivers a comprehensive account of the TV
format trading system and conceptualizes the global value chain
that underpins it, unpicking the corporate strategies and power
relations within. Using interviews with format creators, he
uncovers the secrets behind the world s most travelled formats,
exploring their narrative structure and cultural meanings.
