L’articolo individua le fasi e le ragioni del successo degli adattamenti locali di format internazionali, sempre più frequenti nei palinsesti televisivi. Si tratta di programmi dalla realizzazione semplice ed economica, facilmente uniformabili alle esigenze culturali e linguistiche di ogni Paese. Adempiono alle legislazioni vigenti in molti Stati sulla percentuale minima di prodotto autoctono nei palinsesti; anche il pubblico riconosce l’ambientazione locale e li recepisce come propri. Non esiste al giorno d’oggi un’unica televisione globale in grado di informare e di influenzare l’opinione dell’intero pianeta. Attraverso i format, però, lo stesso messaggio viene riadattato e ridistribuito sui singoli mercati locali, secondo le regole della cosiddetta “glocalizzazione”.

The article examines the growing trend for successful local adaptations of international TV formats, and the main reasons why they are becoming increasingly prevalent in the broadcasting schedules. Such programs boast effective, low-cost production and can be easily altered to fit in with a local audience’s linguistic and cultural background. These programs are able to circumvent regulations many countries have in force which stipulate a minimum quota of local product in a daily TV schedule. Audiences recognize these shows’ ‘local features’ and thus perceive them as integral parts of their own individual popular culture. Nowadays it is impossible to have unique global television that is able to inform and influence the opinions of everyone on the whole planet. Yet, through formats, a consistent message is adapted and transmitted to individual local markets and thus in accordance to the rules of so-called ‘glocalization’.

Opracowanie zamierza określić etapy i przyczyny rozwoju lokalnych adaptacji formatów międzynarodowych, które stanowią dużą część oferty programów TV całego świata. Są to produkcje o prostym i tanim wykonaniu, które można łatwo dostosować do wymogów kulturowych i językowych każdego kraju. Zaspokajają obowiązujące w wielu państwach normy dotyczące minimalnego procentowego udziału krajowej twórczości w całości ramówki telewizyjnej, a widzowie uznają za lokalne. Nie istnieje obecnie na świecie żadna globalna stacja TV, w stanie informować i wpływać równomiernie na opinię publiczną całej planety; poprzez formaty, przesłanie jest adaptowane i nadawane na poszczególne rynki lokalne, zgodnie z zasadami tak zwanej „glokalizacji”.
