“…Research on this topic has visibly increased in the last decade. Authors deal with market adaptation strategies regarding product localization or standardization of one product in different countries (Kopnina, 2007;Machin & Thornborrow, 2003;Machin & van Leeuwen, 2004), of several companies in a certain country (Chen, Fung, 2006;Weber, 2003), or of several companies in several countries (Chalaby, 2002(Chalaby, , 2005Moran, 2009;Oba, 2009;Shrikhande, 2004). Market entry strategies have remained an important topic in transnational media management research.…”

This article reviews the development of transnational media management research. Building on a review by Hollifield (2001) and applying propositional inventory, this survey analyzes 62 publications between 1974 and 2009 according to distinct dimensions to map the research field and assemble the 2 time periods. Articles can be categorized into 7 research topics: firm-level management, market entry strategies, corporate-level strategies, internationalization process, leadership and organization, functional management, and management of cross-border co-operations. Along these topics, research results are synthesized into theoretical propositions to summarize central findings. The conclusion discusses the results and derives an agenda for future research.

“…Chalaby states that formats are a "platform on which to generate drama" and are both international and local since they only achieve international success when they are popular among national, regional, or local markets 12 . Moran calls a format a "recipe or guide to the remaking of a programme adaptation in another territory," using the original as a "template" to guide the reproduced adaptation 13 . Van Keulen 14 proposes a concept of "aesthetic proximity," which is the ability to "generate aesthetic characteristics and stylistic norms that are shared by an increasing number of countries" and are thus transnational in nature, while simultaneously displaying "local styles and diversity".…”

Narratological Approaches to Multimodal Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Global TV Formats

This article cross-culturally compares different versions of the Quebec sitcom/sketch comedy television series Un Gars, Une Fille (1997-2002) by examining the various gender roles and family conflict management strategies in a scene in which the heterosexual couple visits the male character’s mother-in-law. The article summarizes similarities and differences in the narrative structure, sequencing and content of several format adaptations by compiling computer-generated quantitative and qualitative data on the length of segments. To accomplish this, I have used the annotation function of Adobe Premiere, and visualized the findings using Microsoft Excel bar graphs and tables. This study applies a multimodal methodology to reveal the textual organization of scenes, shots and sequences which guide viewers toward culturally proxemic interpretations. This article discusses the benefits of applying the notion of discursive proximity suggested by Uribe-Jongbloed and Espinosa-Medina (2014) to gain a more comprehensive and complex understanding of the multimodal nature of cross-cultural comparison of global television format adaptations.

“…The broadcasting industry looked for ways to reduce production costs, and reality TV, with ordinary participants, offered a competitive option compared to expensive drama productions (Raphael 2009). Alongside the deregulations, there was also an increased use of independent production companies and a growing market for an international trade with "formats programmes" (Moran 2008). The 1990s onwards also saw a rapid technological development which increased the number of channels (ibid), but also transformed programmes to multiplatform events which made direct audience feedback possible (Ytreberg 2009).…”

Ordinary People on Television

By using a longitudinal design and measuring television content and the occurrence of ordinary television and 'ordinary' participants at four different points in time from 1982 to 2011, this study investigates the alleged shift towards ordinariness in the 1990s. Using Sweden as a test case, three research questions are posed: To what extent did ordinary television programming increase during the 1990s? To what extent did the participation of ordinary people increase as a consequence of this shift? To what extent has public service television adapted to commercial competition through broadcasting more ordinary television? The analysis confirms the alleged shift towards ordinariness. Ordinary television and ordinary participants did increase during the studied era, but a key argument put forward is that this shift occurred gradually and that one should avoid using overdramatic epithets to characterise it. The results also suggest that the public service broadcaster (SVT) also moved towards ordinariness but that this change was modest and occurred later than expected in Sweden.
