Episode 028: The world of TV Formats in 2020 - a dying breed or a force for good? A talk with Jan Salling

Some of my formative media years were spent in the TV format industry, which back in the days was a creative hotbed for new ideas with the potential to go global basically overnight. Today the industry looks different in many ways. There is no one better to talk to about the future of TV formats and how they could potentially find a purpose in today's media world than Jan Salling. Formerly of Banijay, Nordic World, Zodiak and FRAPA, he now heads up the Nordic division of BBC. If there's something he doesn't know about TV formats, it's probably not worth knowing. Welcome!
