The only show I'm actualy intrested in seeing is the philiadelphia one but I'm not sure if I can be bothered to stay up til 3 watching BBC
There's a form of BBC in American Cable/Satellite. Don't know if this BBC will be carrying the concert coverage.
I'll definately watch the Philadelphia show. Luckily it falls directly on the week i've booked off work.
i'll probably watch most of it, depending on how good it is. i kind of gathered it would be all that will be on tv though.
You shoudl be able to get the BBC for free in the USA... Its a free(apart form the tv lience) goverment sevice hear in the UK so... i see now reason why
source of the quotes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/thelive8event/onbbc/ mark, you forgot to say what î've put in bold in addition to that, i think that the bbc website did a mistake: maybe they wanted to say 2 July: Live 8 Reloaded on BBC TWO and not THREE cause BBC THREE cannot show 2 things in the same time ! and the live 8 scheduling for the BBC TWO ends at 4pm
I'm just going to have to go with whatever the website says. And if they're wrong, people will have to complain to them about it, not us. Thanks for that tidbit.
Yes as we know the LP are on at Live 8. If you live in Australia, like me, Fox 8 is broadcasting from 9.30pm onwards, Saturday, July 2nd. I think we should respect all the artists at Live 8 as they are giving up their time, energy and crew and not getting paid a cent! But it's for a good cause, so tune in.
