Introduction

Television in several parts of the globe has evolved into a new era. This is as a result of an exceptional intersection of contemporary transmission and reception technologies, innovative structures of financing, new ways of imagining the viewers, novel outlines of content and innovative constructions of the television as a commodity (Womack 49).

A Brief History And Current FormatsAs an assistant floor manager
As an assistant floor manager in an evening magazine show, the practical experience was most fascinating. This role entails new learning and analysis of skills, theory, structures and roles in relation to the production process and team working. It is noteworthy that the TV production field has a rich history that is greatly inspiring.The surfacing of format programming has facilitated other capitals like Amsterdam, Berlin and London, to rise to eminence. Television genres included talent contests, game shows, home and self-improvementprograms, as well as hidden-cameradocumentaries. They have currently evolved into centralized types of programming output.These program forms emphasize the capacity of the average person to appear on television andare an ingredient of the neoliberal zeitgeist (Bolter 205).

As an assistant floor manager, I have come to appreciate the perspective of Cury (105), that there are several interconnected elementsof a planetary structure that are complexly interconnected and changing. First, themedia industry componentis composed of seven massive transnational corporations that are supplemented by additionalconglomerates with strong regional transactions or those with that have worldwide reach focuson niche markets. Secondly, there is the technologicalinfrastructure in the structure of global communication networks that embracesatellite, cable, as well as the Internet. This maintains and facilitates the functions of these organizations. In addition,there is the entertainment and news content as well as associated services and data that circulate throughout the system. Finally, there is a worldwide regulatory regime that embraces various worldwide bodies, trade and technical agreements, and legal verdicts and ordinances.

Several autonomous television companies have graduate openings, which function on an individual corporation basis.  These companies are likely to advertise on their websites, in the Broadcast magazine or in the local press. I attribute my appointment as an assistant floor manager for the evening magazine show to the fact that, the development of cable as well as satellite television has generated numerous opportunities throughout the entertainment and television industry. However, current trends in the field of programming may result into a reduction in the necessity for floor managers. In the event that opportunities crop up, appointments for the position of floor managers are made for every production on an ad hoc basis. Direct entry into the industry as a floor manager is rare and one should be ready to assume an administrative position in television to acquire understanding of the industry. In my experience in the television industry, I have come to realize that the broadcasting industry has a history of programs to promote professions in the industry to poorly represented groups, particularly ethnic minorities.

Current format programs. Working as an assistant floor manager I realized that it requires an extensive knowledge of every TV related job. In particular the jobs on the studio floor therefore armed with my training, I have been able to have a firm grip of numerous technical areas. In this regard I concur that my training also assisted me in developing my people skills that are fundamental when I would work as component of a team. I realized from first hand experience that, in format programs what is aired may be a new program fashioned in a different territory and employing theformat of the original as a type of template that would facilitate in directing the remaking of the version.

For instance, the format for The Block (Channel Nine), an Australian-developed series transmits extensive information as well as advice for prospective producers in other locations on the globe. Theformat package contains financingguidelines relating to the costs of purchasing the property for makeover. Obviously, the elements included in a format package vary significantlydepending on the genre, program, and time(Womack 49).
