Reach may be stated either as an absolute number, or as a fraction of a given population (for instance, "TV households", "men", or "those aged 25–35").

Talent Show
A talent show or talent contest is an event in which participants perform the arts of singing, dancing, lip-syncing, acting, martial arts, playing an instrument, poetry, comedy or other activities to showcase skills. Many talent shows are performances rather than contests, but some are actual contests. In the instance of a contest, participants may be motivated to perform for a reward, trophy, or prize of some kind. For example, a high school might not have many students with any interest in performing in front of the student body for the sole purpose of performing alone and may offer different prizes as an incentive for these students to participate in the contest. Media Since the late 1940s, talent shows have become a notable genre of reality television. Ever since the original airing of ''Doorway to Fame'' in 1947, countless spin-offs have been produced. In order of oldest to newest, here they are: * ''Doorway to Fame'' (1947); * '' The Original Amateur Hour'' (1948); * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
