Academic Scientific JournalsReality Show And Its Adaptation In Slovak Television Production

Globalisation processes are discussed especially in connection with audiovisual production in North America. Slovak television production is heavily influenced by products originating from the United States as well. The main aim of the present study is to clarify the globalisation tendencies of the media industry with regard to television production in post-communist countries, specifically in Slovakia. The research focuses on the sub-genre of reality TV called container reality game show, which is currently perceived as a globally popular media phenomenon. To fulfil the primary purpose of the study, it is necessary to clarify the key terms, describe the essence of reality TV and its basic characteristics. The follow-up case study offers an assessment of the globalisation processes resonating in contemporary Slovak television production, specifically in reality TV products. We work with the assumption that the foreign globalised theme and its adaptation in the form of a glocalised title are qualitatively more or less identical, but that there are always several content changes in the domestic title that reflect the local interests, attitudes, and habits of the respective media audiences.
