Glastonbury Goes Worldwide
BBC Worldwide Music has held the rights to broadcast Glastonbury via radio to 40 countries worldwide for the last 40 years. This year is different, BBCW have been given the exclusive Television broadcasting rights for the first time.
Jon Mansfield, head of content development says that he wants to take Glastonbury to its biggest ever audience.
“A Glastonbury performance is one of the most prestigious moments in many artists’ careers and frequently results in truly historic performances,” he adds. “Glastonbury 2010, with headliners including U2, Muse and Jack Johnson, promises an exceptional year.
“BBCW Music are honoured to play a part in bringing those extraordinary moments to what we believe, through our substantial TV distribution network, will potentially be the festival’s biggest global audience ever.”
