Paris– MIPTV published an exclusive report titled The Definitive Guide: How to Create a Hit Format in 10 Lessons, which lifts the lid on the secrets of the international format business.
Authored by international TV and digital content observatory, The Wit, the 43-page report sets out in 10 chapters how producers can make it to the top with their TV show ideas.

The report includes valuable insights into what are the common ingredients to all best-selling TV formats; and how does one get fresh ideas and build a unique format, whilst preventing copycats. It also explores the best ways to sell ideas to the TV world, adapt them when necessary, and make them last forever.
In the relatively young format business with huge growth potential, embodied by well-known global brands like The Voice and Got Talent, these are the key questions all producers should ask themselves in the quest for the next TV hit. This report serves as a “format bible” to answer these questions.
The report comes two weeks ahead of the 2016 MIPFormats, the only specialist trade event for the international formats community, which takes place in Cannes, France, on 2-3 April 2016 ahead of the MIPTV entertainment content market.
