Format refers to the general shape of the show, rather than the show's
genre. For instance, a
Sitcom is in a particular genre. It might be any length from a half-hour up to a miniseries. That's the format.
Format can also refer to the technical aspects of a show or electronic media, or what kind of media it's distributed on - for example,
DVDs, Hi-Def, etc.
How a given
Season can be arranged.
