  • Le Groupe M6 a Choisi Metro Goldwyn Mayer Et Mark Burnett Pour Signer Un Accord D'exploitation Du Format « Audition Secrète
    Le Groupe M6 a choisi Metro Goldwyn Mayer et Mark Burnett pour signer un accord d’exploitation du format « Audition Secrète », produit par Studio 89 d’après le format « Secret Audition » détenu par Studio 89, Explay Music et La Casa. Cet accord intervient pour une exploitation dans 12 territoires : Les Etats-Unis, le Canada, l’Australie, UK, Pays-Bas, Espagne, Italie, Norvège, Suède, Finlande, Danemark et Inde. Diffusé sur la chaîne M6 à partir du 24 juillet, « Audition Secrète » (Secret Audition) est un divertissement inédit qui permet de découvrir de nouveaux talents en plaçant les proches au cœur du dispositif. Le lancement de l’émission a rencontré un vif succès auprès des téléspectateurs, permettant à M6 de se classer leader auprès des moins de 50 ans et en particulier sur la cible commerciale (25% auprès des FRDA-50). Cet accord positionne Studio 89, l’unité des flux internes du Groupe M6, comme un nouvel acteur sur le marché de la vente de formats. Son programme « Chasseurs d’Appart » (Flat Hunters), a déjà été adapté dans 5 territoires. Le concept d'« Audition Secrète » Des producteurs de maison de disque sont persuadés que de nombreux chanteurs anonymes n'ont pas osé se dévoiler : soit parce qu'ils ont peur, soit parce que la vie les a poussés à faire d'autres choix, ou encore parce qu'ils n'imaginent pas avoir suffisamment de talent. Puisque ces talents ne veulent pas sortir de l'ombre, des producteurs reconnus ont imaginé un stratagème inédit pour les propulser dans la lumière. Grâce à la complicité de leurs proches, ces talents vont se retrouver sur scène sans le savoir ! L'effet de surprise passé, ils auront alors la possibilité, s'ils le souhaitent, de montrer à tous ce talent de chanteur qu'ils gardaient caché jusque-là.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
