With the current interest in David
Gilmour, following the release of his new album On An Island, and his
current tour, broadcasters are making the most of this, and we've news
of more Gilmour/Pink Floyd radio and TV specials. This supplements the
information we gave you on March 29th
of other broadcasts!

| David Gilmour on RTL TV |
First, Dutch TV channel RTL last
week aired a short interview with David. Lasting just three and a half
minutes, it is pretty brief, but thankfully for the non-Dutch speakers,
David was not overdubbed, simply subtitled. You can view the interview
on demand through this link at www.RTL.nl. You need to scroll down to "Video: 22-03, Pink Floyd" to launch it.
Our thanks to Carla Buijsman for letting us know.
Tomorrow, the French branch of
RTL broadcasts a Pink Floyd special on its radio service. Each week,
George Lang tells the story of a major artist or band, using interviews
with the performers themselves. Tomorrow (April 1st) at 11pm (CET) the
two-hour show looks at the Pink Floyd story. You can listen to the live
stream of the radio station by going to www.RTL.fr. Our thanks to Alain for this news.
British TV isn't deglecting its
viewers either... For those who've not yet bought the Dark Side Of The
Moon Classic Albums DVD, you get another chance to see it on BBC 4 TV,
on Friday April 7th, at 11:20pm. If you haven't seen it, you a missing
a treat - check out our review.
The UK's Channel 4 TV are also
joining in, airing the excellent "David Gilmour In Concert" special
recorded at the 2001 Royal Festival Hall show (which was subsequently
released on DVD -again, reviewed on this site) on Saturday April 15th,
at 1:30am. Again, a great watch, and an essential part of your DVD
collection!
The wonderful DavidGilmour.com
site is also reporting that this special will be shown by various
broadcasters worldwide soon, and they should have full details of
airing times/dates soon. They do note, though, that Portuguese TV
channel RTP will broadcast it on April 22nd on RTP 1, and it will be
repeated in May on Channel 2.
As we get information on other broadcasts/broadcasters, we will let you know.
