The Arab Advisors Group released the updated report on the Arabic reality TV shows aired in 2015/March 2016. The report overviews a total of 34 Arabic reality TV shows covered in ten FTA channels, namely: Bedaya TV, LBCI, MBC1, MBC3, MBC4, MTV Lebanon, Toyour Al Jannah, Dubai TV, Sama Dubai and Roya TV. The report reveals that out of the 34 Reality TV shows analyzed, 25 were locally produced; the remaining 9 shows are licensed from companies owning the rights to the licensed format.
The increasing competition among satellite TV channels placed pressure on the Arab TV industry to offer new and quality content to maintain and withdraw viewers and advertisers. Reality TV’s attraction lies in its relative novelty to audience as well as its lower costs of production as participants are mainly regular people and not highly paid movie and TV stars.
A new report, “Arabic Reality TV Shows” was released to the Arab Advisors Group’s Media Strategic Research Service subscribers on August 23, 2016. This report can be purchased from the Arab Advisors Group for only US$ 1,600. The 53-page report, which has 23 detailed exhibits, provides analysis of the reality TV landscape in the Arab world. The report includes analysis and profiles of thirty four major Arabic reality TV shows on ten FTA satellite TV channels during the period from January 2015 till end of March 2016, including the reality shows in production to be aired thereafter (the season 2015/2016). This includes locally produced as well as licensed-format-based reality TV shows. The content of the Arabic reality shows as well as the content of the original licensed format is discussed.
