Last Night of the Proms goes global

The climax of this year’s event on 12 September will be broadcast to screens in 15 countries, including Japan, Australia, Germany and South Africa.
BBC Worldwide’s Music arm secured the international deals, which will feed the concert via
satellite in digital surround sound.


The finale, famous for flag-waving renditions of patriotic anthems Land of Hope and Glory and Rule, Britannia!, is already shown on large outdoor screens around the UK.

The 72nd Prom will be broadcast across BBC Two, BBC HD and BBC Radio 3.
