ResumoThe proliferation of digital windows, specialty channels, and fragmented audiences compels global media industry scholars to reassess the increasingly complex cultural negotiations that underpin new forms of transnational financing, production, and distribution for television dramas.The emphasis here is on the underexamined issues of branding both national and genre channels and issues of distribution, which are all important strategies in transnational television flows.The essay uses as a case study the Canadian television series Orphan Black, and its acquisition by BBC America, to illustrate how national and channel branding expectations of distributors are facilitating new forms of transnational television production partnerships.
