Editorial American prime time programming For the 2005-2006 seasons, Nielsen Media Research has determined there are an estimated 110 million television households in the U.S. Advertising spending through the third quarter of 2005 rose 4,5% over the same period last year, due to the gain across major media. Advertising spending increased in almost all reported media, led by Internet, Spanish-language TV and Cable TV. Nationally, the number of Hispanic television households is projected growing 2.9 percent this year, to 11.2 million, according to Nielsen. Nielsen's product placement tracking service showed that "The Contender" was the number one program, with more than double the amount of product placements than the number two program "American Idol", 7,514 and 3,497 product occurrences respectively. Nielsen Media Research Top 20 for the period of the week 5-11 December 2005, shows the domination of American hits at networks CBS, ABC and NBC. 75% of Americans rely on TV as their primary news source, and 55% cite TV as the most believable news source and powerful American programming will appeal to national and international broadcasters in 2006.

International Television Distribution - about their powerful programming for 2006 season.
Programming in Latin American territories The competition on the Latin American market can not be defined narrowly as a head-on battle for the total audience. It is based on successful operations of national conglomerates that target specific segments of the population. Despite the U.S. was the main exporter of international television programming for many decades, the volume of regional production has increased; regional, domestic and global programs compete for the dominance of the television schedulers in Latin American countries. To what extend do South American countries depend on American, regional, or other kind of foreign programming? What foreign programming is working in Latin American territories? What differences in television flows are found in contrast to other regions of the world? What are the latest trends of the development of local production in Latin American territories? Miracle Screenings made country-by-country observations in 5 Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela. We asked local moguls (Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico, Telefe International in Argentina, RCN in Colombia, RCTV in Venezuela, and Globo TV in Brazil) and international companies that achieved big success in Latin Territories (Fremantle Media and Granada International) about their business and contemporary tendencies of programming in Latin American territories. Countries Focuses On a country-by-country basis, Miracle Screenings gives analyses of landscapes of the U.S., Canada and Latin America: TV Channels' share, TOP 10 performing programs, major TV Channels:
Thematic Sections Focus on Telenovelas: Telenovela Dominates Prime Time Programming in Latin America The roots of Latin American telenovelas go back to radio soap operas produced in the U.S. Today, Latin Americans became real masters of telenovelas. The telenovela is perhaps the most important television program genre in the Latin America. Tremendous audience interest and advertiser support made telenovelas a leading genre in the daily prime-time schedule in most Latin American countries. Telenovelas are much more important in Latin American territories than in the U.S. While the U.S. film makers make their goals to conquest the Hollywood, Latin American telenovela industry is bringing multi million revenues with worldwide distribution. Nowadays, million of viewers throughout Latin America watch Argentinean, Brazilian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Mexican, and Venezuelan telenovelas. Miracle Screenings asked regional giants (Televisa, Globo TV, Telefe International, RCTV, TV Azteca) what they think about popularity of this genre.
Focus on Formats: Format Reshapes American prime time slots Formatting programming is very important on the American TV. Fox made a successful impact to the phenomenon of reality television with "Cops" and " America 's Most Wanted" that become a regular part of network programming. In 2000, "Who wants to be a Millionaire" followed by "Big Brother", "Survivor" and "The Weakest Link" hit the prime time scheduler in the U.S. Nowadays, action-based formatting programming continues to dominate the prime time slots of broadcasters in many countries of the world. According to the Nielson Media Research, reality shows account for about 56% of all American TV shows, and also accounts to about 69% of all the world TV shows. In the U.S., " American Idol 4" is not only this season's highest rated series, but beat all previous series of the show. " American Idol 4" launched on Fox in January 2005 to a phenomenal audience of 33.6 million viewers, giving Fox its third most watched night of entertainment programming ever in the network's history and gained more viewers than the combined audiences for the other five leading broadcast networks during the same period. What are the coming trends in formatting programming in the US?
