There's no escape from V2002
gdobson by Gareth Dobson July 12th, 2002
ITV2 is to show its cutting edge status by agreeing to televise the V2002 music festival live for the first time.

ITV2 has signed a deal to broadcast action from the weekend event, which includes sets from top bands Stereophonics, Nickelback and Counting Crows, will take place simultaneously in Chelmsford and Staffordshire on Saturday August 17 and Sunday August 18.

The channel will carry 10 hours of coverage over two consecutive days, on Sunday August 18 from 7.30pm and Monday August 19 from 8.30pm.

On previous years, the second-to-none festival has been shown as a poorly-packaged highlights show on the graveyard slot of ITV.
