BBC Worldwide Music will be the exclusive television and radio distributor for this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
The BBC has for many years brought the festival to UK viewers, capturing brilliant concert footage and behind the scenes interviews with the bands.
Now for the first time, BBCW has gained the TV distribution rights and will be taking the festival to music fans worldwide.
BBCW Audio & Music have held the radio rights to broadcast the festival since 1985 and in this time have licensed the performances across 40 territories worldwide reaching an average of 40 million listeners.
This is the first time that BBCW Music has held the TV rights to the Glastonbury Festival and BBCW Music hopes to take it to its largest ever audience.
As part of BBC Worldwide, Europe’s largest television distributor, BBCW Music has focused on growing its distribution business over the last two years and successes with top brands such as Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Top of the Pops has helped the business grow to become one of the UK’s top music television distributors.
This deal is a major landmark for this business and will see BBCW Music become the sole TV and radio distributor for the 40th Glastonbury Festival.
