Fox in the henhouse
Article Abstract:
The TV industry is shocked and enraged at FoxEs blatant copying of rival networksE reality formats. Not only is Fox unapologetic about it, but is also committing the offence of launching the imitations before the originals. With big and powerful networks like Fox leading the way, smaller broadcasters are following suit. Since broadcasters are unwillingly to go in for litigations, and producers, though wary, have not stopped approaching Fox, the only alternative for broadcasters is to speed up the production process and air the programs as early as possible.
