Whether newspapers, magazines, radio or television programs, is formatted a storm on the loose in all media. programs, articles and even entire magazines meet a fixed pattern: open with an easily digestible topic a bit to be, laughing over something more serious and heavy managers, then quickly to the music to the listener too much the witless hunt (an easy catchy hit song from the 80s so) and then a cheerful sports block.

Something like this is even entirely fictional example I just now shaking off my sleeve, but you understand what I mean. The next day the same. Although another subject and airy serieuzers something else, another hit song from the 80s and other sports in the block, but the structure, the format remains the same. That gives recognition. And keep the reader, viewer and listener. At least, that know the makers of all those programs and magazines.

A good format is invaluable, especially in television. It is a kind of patent. In a thick tome all the specifics of the program: how does it play, what kind of candidates, how is it filmed etc. Only when it is specific enough, it is difficult to copy without the steal is

talent is not a format, but a talent show with a rotating chair (unique element that was not there before) though. If it is too easy repeatable by others (a documentary format is not) then there is nothing in the way of international success. By developing such formats and sell globally is John de Mol rich. Every television producer dreams of a golden format.

My wife loves programs and magazines about houses, design and interiors. Television about people who are looking for homes, building and remodeling. Sheets and you’re looking at people’s homes (usually in Scandinavia and in the Netherlands.) With useful tips! These blades are exactly the same every week, but a little different. idem sed altiter to speak. the philosopher Why would you buy that week in week out? Less format like, surprise us!
