Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

According to All Headline News, NBC will broadcast Live Earth on July 7th, starting at 4am [the timezone is not mentioned]. They will continue broadcasting for 22 hours straight, therefore ending at 2am on July 8th. The broadcast will feature pre-recorded and live segments of Live Earth - “a 24-hour, 7-continent series of 9 concerts taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis“. The Dave Matthews Band is set to perform [along with many other artists], so they will most likely be seen sometime on NBC.
