Abstract

TV drama is a culturally important programme category, but the drama supply is strongly ruled by economic determinants. In Flanders, the size of the tv-market influences several characteristics of the drama supply, such as the amount, length, broadcasting time and genre of tv-series. The commercialization of the television landscape has strengthened existing tendencies, the aim of which is to maximalize audiences with minimal investments. In a European perspective, too, market properties partially explain differences in the drama production. Thus, while their importance should not be exaggerated, economic factors turn out to play a determinant role in the structure of the tv drama supply.
