6music to provide round the clock Glasto coverage
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 April 2009
The BBC has said it will broadcast round-the-clock coverage of Glastonbury this year via its digital station 6Music.
The Beeb has always had pretty extensive coverage of Glasto, of course, with airtime across the Corporations network’s thrown over to the music fest, which enjoys much profile boosting coverage in the run up to the event too. But this will be the first year that there will be 24 hour coverage from the festival.
A spokeswoman for 6Music confirmed yesterday: “We want to take a dawn to dusk/dusk to dawn approach to this hugely significant cultural festival, blending live music coverage, music news and archive to contextualise the festival and some of the major artists playing”.
