  • Global Cities, Local Knowledge
    Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

What will the integration do to headcount in the region? Which brands will survive the kill-or-keep game? And what Scripps’ high-octane Asia head, Leena Singara- jah, chooses to do next? A likely option for now is to keep the structure put in place when Discovery Asia-Pacific president/MD, Arthur Bastings, exited, with no overall Asia-Pacific MD and country/region bosses reporting into international president/CEO, J.B. Perrette. This throws the spotlight onto Singa- rajah, who has given no indication of whether she’s moving into Discovery’s Singapore offices. Or not. There’s also no clear sense of who TV4 Entertainment original, Mothers & Daughters, starring Sharon Stone and Susan Sarandon among Discovery or Scripps staffers has a clear run at keeping their jobs, or whether Perrette will bring in new people entirely as LA-based TV4 Entertainment is expanding team, under Creevey as MD. he attempts to resurrect the Asia business. into Asia Pacific in an exclusive alliance Creevey has long beat a drum in the Together, Discovery/Scripps in Asia have with Gregg Creevey’s Multi Channels TV/video space for speciality content, about 200-220 people, with widespread Asia (MCA) to develop the next genera- and, as consumers continue to migrate role duplication.
