Television formats have been adapted, copied or franchised by local TV 
stations or production companies
- Histories/ethnographies of production, textual analysis and/or study 
of audience reception of such productions
- Discussion of the cultural and social significance of these adaptations
- National controversies caused by clashes between local values and the 
demands and contents dictated by imported TV formats
- Hybridity, Ambivalence, and Glocalization in the adaptation of foreign 
TV formats
- Nationalism, Post-Nationalism and Trans-Nationalism in relation to the 
global flow of TV formats
- Post-colonialism and the global flow of TV formats
