Makeover on the move: Global television and programme formats
Main points
The author explores the development of formatted television programming to answer the
question:
how does format-remake television work as a worldwide institution?
this essay is concerned with understanding the institutional framework of global television,
which offers broad homologies of makeover that anticipate and contextualize subjects and
themes occurring at more micro levels in specific programmes.
In sum, the international television format trade is an important component of the global
television industry. Doing television in this way helps to reconfigure and reconfirm various
televisual genres.
the format programme has the capacity to be customized or indigenized to help meet local
tastes and expectation
format franchise licensing underlines the point that this kind of format exchange is never a one-
dimensional process. Instead, remaking is usually multifaceted, fluid, dynamic and complex.
Economically and culturally, the worldwide trade in television makeover programmes binds
more and more broadcasting and production components of hitherto local, national, and
regional television industries into a more transnational business. If this is television
globalization, then it is globalization with a local look and sound.

International franchise of TV program
Globalization brought about new era in television
● Technological convergence has become a dominant notion with new players entering
the distribution arena
, ○ Increasing uniformity happened
• Local TV audiences differ linguistically, ethnically, historically, geographically, and culturally
• Invariably prefer programmes that look and sound as their own
• TV content producers
• Face high cost and risk when creating a new local TV programme
• Aim to maximize commercial value of successful TV programmes
● the franchising of telenovela into at least 12 national territories (as well as several
unauthorized remakes elsewhere) turns on industrial practices of adaptation
Problem
Licensing the re-broadcast of a finished or canned programme allows for very little cultural
adaptation in a particular market.
Solution: format program
“A recipe or guide to the remaking of a programme adaptation in another territory”
“Set of industry know-how and resources that allows the development and production of a
television programme in another place and time”
with a television format, what the trade seeks to export is the successful commercial knowledge
and know-how bound up in a programme that will help ensure its adaptation and remaking in
another territory.
it makes available a kind of mould that controls and shapes the efforts of production teams in
other markets in making their own version of a programme.
