Global brands to bring extensive coverage of BRIT Awards

A coordinated push across Global’s stations and digital brands will put its presenters at the centre of this year’s BRIT Awards coverage.

Capital, Heart, Capital XTRA and Capital Buzz will broadcast live from the red carpet, speaking to nominees and winners as they arrive and capturing reaction throughout the night across radio, social and digital platforms.

Presenters will report from backstage and the winners’ room, with content shared across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Capital continues its long-standing partnership with the BRIT Awards, sponsoring the Song of the Year with Mastercard supported by Capital category for nearly two decades.

Jimmy Hill will host his Saturday show from 9am to 12pm live from Manchester, while Global’s showbiz team reports from Co-op Live. The broadcast follows a week of build-up branded as Capital’s BRITs Winning Weekend.

Heart’s showbiz correspondent Ashley Roberts will report live from the red carpet on Saturday afternoon, before sharing backstage stories and coverage of the after parties on Heart Breakfast on Monday morning.

Capital XTRA will focus on red carpet and backstage interviews, while Capital Anthems airs Best of the BRITs on Friday from 6pm, revisiting previous performances and winners.

James Rea, Global’s Chief Broadcasting and Content Officer, said: “The BRIT Awards is one of the biggest nights in music in the world and we’ll make sure Global’s audiences don’t just hear about, but get to experience every minute of this very special event!”
