| Abstract | In TV production, there has been a worldwide move from a system based on established broadcasters, to a system requiring outsourcing to independent producers.

Testing these claims in the UK market – which has a large Independent sector and an international reputation for innovative reality TV formats – this chapter find the claims for flexibility and innovation to be largely unsupported by the evidence. |
