BBC Worldwide Music

BBC Worldwide Music, part of the commercial arm of U.K. broadcaster the BBC, has unveiled two major new U2 shows that it's making available purchasable to international broadcasters.
The programs include the Irish band's roof-top carrying into action on top of BBC Broadcasting House in British capital in Feb 2009.
"U2=BBC: The History" and "U2=BBC" feature undivided material from the BBC archives and a series of extensive audiences with the band.
About 5,000 people delineated the nearby streets to watch the U2 performance, appropriated by aerial and rooftop camera shots, which will boast on both shows but form the base of "U2=BBC." That show - uncommitted as a 30-minute or 50-minute output - also boasts their live set for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, hosted by Jo Whiley also as behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the banding.
"U2=BBC: The History" follows the banding career from their earliest a long time live in Belfast in 1981 to the Broadcasting House set in 2009. It draws on nearly thirty yrs of BBC live performances, letting in "Top of the Pops" and "Whistle Test."
"We're very excited to be able to draw together a collection music of some authentically unique BBC performances from the biggest banding on the planet," said Jon Mansfield, head of content developing at BBC Worldwide Music, in a statement. "It's comprised a brilliant opportunity to act with U2 and Universal Music to utilise the durabilities of the BBC Worldwide multi-platform base and reach global consultations with their better BBC performances. This bears on BBC Worldwide's music article strategy, building an telling portfolio of exclusive and singular performances from a lot of the world's greatest artists."
The U2 appearances follow late BBC Worldwide music specials on Oasis and Pet Shop Boys by the BBC archives.
