Launched as Britain’s Got Talent in June 2007, the format has since become one of the most successful and progressively growing entertainment brands in the world. The Got Talent format now airs in more than 40 territories globally, launching in 11 new territories in 2010 alone, making it one of the world’s most travelled formats of the year. The Got Talent format consistently ranks as the number one show in many countries worldwide.
The show features dancers, singers, comedians, variety acts, and other talented performers of all ages. A panel of judges decide which acts progress to the live semi finals when the public have the chance to vote for their favourites.
The Got Talent format continues to generate long term success, series-on-series growth around the world. In 2009, Britain’s Got Talent achieved a record breaking audience of 18.3 million, ranking as UK’s number one entertainment programme of the last decade and the highest rated show of the year. In the US, America’s Got Talent continues to be the highest rated entertainment series on NBC, drawing in a peak audience of over 16 million viewers.
Wherever it is shown, Got Talent continues to win many of the top entertainment awards and is one of the world’s most loved talent shows.
