PROGRAMMING: BBC to decamp to Glasto for 24-hour radio coverage.
Raft of stations to offer extensive festival programming
By Ben Cardew
BBC 6 MUSIC IS TO LEAD THE CORPORATION'S COVERAGE of the Glastonbury Festival later this month, offering 24-hour coverage from the event.
The station will clear its programming schedules on June 26-28 to offer continuous Glastonbury coverage, presented by DJs such as Steve Lamacq and Lauren Laverne.
Coverage will include live performances, interviews, a daily round-up
and what is described as "a voyage into the Glastonbury archives" late into the night.
Station editor Paul Rodgers explains, "Glastonbury is such an exciting and significant cultural festival and 6 Music intends to reflect it from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn. Plans are to blend live music coverage, music news and archive content to reflect and contextualise the festival and its amazing bill, as well as giving listeners and users a flavour of being right in the middle of the action."
