U-special is a half hour television talk show that first aired on Indian television in 2007 in New Delhi. It was created by New Delhi Television. The show went on to become one of the channel's highest rated feature programmes. It is named after the Delhi transport corporations (DTC) bus service University-Special, which is a student transport facility in New Delhi. U-special gives young India a platform to comment on issues of contemporary socio-political relevance and is a unique show format that centres on India's urban youth and their lives on campus. Its target audience ranges between the age group of 18-25 in India's capital city - New Delhi. The show fluctuates between a fixed discussion format that is shot at a particular Delhi college/university with a "show topic" and a more mobile structure where the narrative is split into fragments and shot at various colleges while strung together by a common line of questions and comments. == Structure and Content== The structure of the show is a pioneering format on India's relatively young Metro network culture. Both in terms of content and form, ''U-Special'' is unlike previous televised youth forums in India. A segmented packaged aesthetic of capsulated realism in the everyday life of university in Delhi, is intercut with underlaid audio sequencing and a montaged para-narrative that projects a metamorphised half hour of televised campus trends. U-special mirrors peak moments on campuses in the capital while giving its audience an informed young perspective on contemporary affairs, and the average citizen of Delhi an insight into lives of 21st century Indian University goers. Its originality (in the Indian TV scene) lies in breaking bounds of straight jacket in-studio discussion and going beyond the fluff-narrative of a music channel template. While blending these two existing patterns the show represents Universities in a re-mediated hyper-edited template highlighting the contours of "college life", as it involves its audience, across the capital of India, in issues within and outside the Delhi student community. The U-special show format is a template that continues to be applied to youth talk forums in India, and has been replicated on NDTV's most recent metro network-NDTV HINDU. The shows Chennai avatar retains the original METRONATION Delhi "U-special" title, formatted structure and shooting style. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uspecial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
