大象传媒 Proms 2008: A Night at the Proms

大象传媒 Proms 2008



Broadcasting the Proms


The 大象传媒 Proms is available to the widest possible audience via 大象传媒 Radio, Television and online.

  • All Proms broadcast live on 大象传媒 Radio 3

  • All Proms streamed live online and available on-demand for seven days

  • Many Proms-related programes on Radio 3 to complement the season

  • Regular weekly broadcasts on 大象传媒 Two for the first time in addition to regular weekly broadcasts on 大象传媒 Four providing an easily navigable Proms schedule on 大象传媒 TV

  • 大象传媒 iPlayer extends viewing opportunities with all televised concerts available to watch for seven days after transmission

For the first time 大象传媒 Two has a regular weekly presence at the Proms throughout the season, broadcasting many of the outstanding moments at primetime every Saturday night, in addition to its coverage of the first and last nights.

This regular pattern on 大象传媒 Two offers a mixture of complete concerts and selections from the season's most eagerly anticipated performances, and celebrates such events as Nigel Kennedy returning to the Proms after 20 years, anniversaries including the Hall茅 and Vaughan Williams, and to resurrect the Proms concept of Beethoven Night, with plenty of insight and background to the music and musicians featured.

大象传媒 Four also offers audiences a consistent pattern of concerts across the season, with Proms concerts every Sunday and Monday evening for seven weeks with a change of pattern mid-season to include a pair of concerts given by two of the world's greatest conductors 鈥 Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez.

Most of the 大象传媒 Four programmes are live from the Royal Albert Hall, though some of the most sought-after concerts of the season, including Sir Simon Rattle with the Berliner Philharmoniker and the World Music Celebration, which fall on other days of the week, will also be recorded for future broadcast during the season ensuring audiences have the chance to see, as well as hear, the best the season has to offer.

For the first time the 大象传媒 iPlayer will enable audiences to watch all televised Proms for seven days after the original broadcast. All 大象传媒 Two transmissions will also be available on 大象传媒 HD TV in 5.1 surround sound for the first time, extending viewing opportunities even further.

大象传媒 One continues its long-standing coverage of the second half of the last night of the Proms and is recording the Doctor Who Prom for broadcast later in the year.

Red button services for digital TV viewers (satellite, cable and Freeview) continue with detailed background notes on each concert. On the last night of the Proms, audiences can choose between live relays of the 大象传媒 Proms In The Park concerts from around the country by pressing the red button.

All 大象传媒 Proms are broadcast live on Radio 3. Listeners can hear repeat broadcasts of most concerts each weekday in Afternoon On 3. 大象传媒 Proms Chamber Music concerts are broadcast live from Cadogan Hall and repeated the following Saturday (2.00pm) and the four 大象传媒 Proms Composer Portraits are broadcast on the same day of recording, after the evening's Prom.

All Proms are streamed live online at bbc.co.uk/radio3 and available on-demand via the 大象传媒 iPlayer for seven days after the broadcast.

The new Proms Plus events, which take place daily at the Royal College of Music, present new ways to put the broadcast concerts in their wider musical and cultural contexts.

Many of the introductory events 鈥 talks, interviews and panel discussions 鈥 will be recorded and edited for broadcast on Radio 3 during the interval of the concert which follows. Others will be available online afterwards at bbc.co.uk/proms 鈥 the first time pre-concert events have been offered to audiences in this way.

For the first time, Radio 3's In Tune programme will come from the Royal College of Music in front of a live Proms audience on the opening night, and regular programmes with Proms-related content across the station will enhance the Proms experience for listeners.

There will be artist interviews, features and Proms news on programmes such as In Tune, performers and composers joining presenters at concerts, previews in breakfast, discussions of relevant recordings by Proms artists or of Proms repertoire in CD Review and more.

Listeners to Radio 3 via DAB digital radio will be able to view "now playing" details. The season is also available to listeners throughout Europe, North America and across the world via the European Broadcasting Union, as well as online via the 大象传媒 Proms website.

The 大象传媒 Proms website continues to be the primary source for the most up-to-date information about the programme of concerts and events, artists and repertoire, also inviting audiences to participate in debate by submitting their own reviews and joining the lively discussions on the message board.

Online users are offered a wealth of background on the unique history of the world's greatest music festival and unprecedented insight into the season. Listeners can access detailed notes about the music featured in each evening's concert, available one hour before each concert, complementing the 大象传媒 Proms broadcast experience.

The 大象传媒 Proms will once again create a special WAP site for the season enabling users to access information via their mobile phones, including listings, updates, booking and broadcast information.
