Glastonbury 3G TV

Europe : Orange today announced the launch of a dedicated Orange TV channel to present exclusive footage from this year’s Glastonbury Festival. As part of the TV-on-the-mobile service, streamed over the 3G network, Orange customers will be able to access festival footage including artist interviews, festival life, and music experiences from the event, from their Orange 3G handsets.

Glastonbury TV is available through the new Orange TV section on Orange World, which launched in May, on the Nokia 6680 3G handset. Customers not using an Orange 3G handset can also get a slice of the festival action, with downloadable clips from the event all available from Orange World.

Julien Diment, Head of Brand and Commercial Partnerships at Orange said, “This is the fifth year of our partnership with Glastonbury and the launch of a dedicated Glastonbury TV channel on Orange is a unique and exciting way to build on what we already offer to music fans on Orange. With demand for tickets growing every year, the new channel allows more people to enjoy Glastonbury and clearly demonstrates the exciting capabilities and potential of Orange TV.”
