57% decline in reality TV production in Greater Los Angeles from April to June compared to last year due to streaming wars and industry shift.
Reality TV production in the Greater Los Angeles area has significantly dropped by 57% between April and June compared to the same period last year, and 50% compared to the five-year average. This decline follows a period of industry contraction and is attributed to the streaming wars, the shift from cable TV to streaming platforms that rely less on new reality content, and increased production in the UK and Ireland. The decline has resulted in financial struggles for some TV editors and industry insiders predict that the landscape of television may change significantly in the coming years.
