Winner of the 2013 Society for Cinema and Media Studies Best Edited Collection Award!
For decades, television scholars have viewed global television through the lens of cultural imperialism, focusing primarily on programs produced by US and UK markets and exported to foreign markets.
Global Television Formats revolutionizes television studies by de-provincializing its approach to media globalization. It re-examines dominant approaches and their legacies of global/local and center/periphery, and offers new directions for understanding television’s contemporary incarnations.
The chapters in this collection take up the format phenomena from around the globe. Contributors address both little known examples and massive global hits ranging from the Idol franchise, to telenovelas, dance competitions, sports programming, reality TV, quiz shows, sitcoms and more.
