The international success of local TV productions from Australia
We define “content travelability” as the global popularity of a title relative to its home market. Based on this measure, we are able to make the following observations:
- Content from Australia travels best to the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as its neighbour New Zealand.
- Surprisingly, content from Australia travels better to China than English-speaking Canada. Australian content has the lowest global travelability of the English-speaking markets in this report with 9.8%. However, this is still almost twice as good as the average of the other markets in this report.
