La indústria dels formats o la globalització de les idees

Abstract

Recent years have seen the development of an authentic industry of formats which has led, particularly in the area of entertainment programs, to a globalization of television programs. We watch the same program in every part of the world, with seemingly cloned sets, rhythm and even presenters. Sometimes the format is adapted to the characteristics of the television station or the country which has bought it but always under the watchful gaze of its creators. We must reflect on whether this circumstance promotes or hinders the development of creativity and innovation in television entertainment programs.
