Strange headline for an Australian audience. I can see very similar headlines being used in US outlets but when the SMH has to explain what it means in the first sentence it seems to defeat the purpose of a headline.

I wonder if this program will get remade in Australia?

Fox has given the green light to an American version of South Korean celebrity singing contest The Masked Singer and competition series Mental Samurai for 2019. Could either show eventually make its way to Australia?
I regularly see King of masked singer, and have pondered if it would work well in AustraliaâŚitâs different enough to attract an audience, and should work as long as the network does it rightâŚwhich means getting a mix of recent, older and forgotten singers as competitors. If they just use it as a vehicle for cross promotion of their own Network has-beens, X factor and the Voice finalists, say, then it would be doomed to failure.
On a side note, our Dami Im has been a contestant on the Korean King of Masked singer.

Surprise pick-up for CBS, this show is quite young skewing and I always thought they had a slightly older audience and thought it wouldâve been better suited to airing on FOX or MTV etc .
Wonder if they can make the series more respectable to fit its decent audience and not so vain/slutty/dog turd trashy.
