Ampere: North American Unscripted Commissions Fell By 14% In Run-Up To Strikes As ‘Masked Singer’ Dominates Global Formats Game
23.10.2023 - 11:27 / deadline.com
The number of unscripted shows commissioned in North America fell by 14% in the run-up to the writer-actor strikes, as the unscripted boom seen in the previous labor action failed to materialize.
Ampere Analysis measured the volume of North American unscripted titles commissioned between H1 2022 and H1 2023, just after the writers first put down their pens and a few weeks before SAG-AFTRA called members to action.
While the previous labor strikes in 2007-08 are widely regarded as leading to an unscripted boom, Ampere’s research shows that the networks didn’t rush to the genre as the action approached, and this has been confirmed anecdotally via Deadline’s conversations with unscripted producers over the past few months. Ampere found that unscripted shows based on formats were less affected in North America, with a decrease of just 6% over the same period.
Ampere’s global formats research found that the world is becoming less reliant on English-language titles. Between H1 2019 and H1 2023, the proportion of English-language formats being commissioned worldwide tumbled from 59% to 36%.
The growth in Korean formats was flagged as a major factor, with the likes of The Masked Singer and I Can See Your Voice travelling. MBC’s The Masked Singer was commissioned 29 times over the period, more than any other show, ahead of MasterChef and The Voice in second.
Big Brother and Survivor maker Banijay comfortably topped the global format sales chart for the four-year period with 824 titles based on its formats, which doubled ITV Studios in second.
Banijay owned a fifth of the top 20 formats globally, according to the research, although ITV Studios technically exported more new formats than any other owner, with the majority of
