BBC will celebrate all things rock ‘n’ roll this summer with a dedicated series of programming across TV and radio as part of its ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll America’ season.
BBC Four, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music will all broadcast programmes celebrating this era including a new TV documentary series examining perhaps the most important period in the history of popular music – the birth of rock ‘n’ roll – as well as rock-themed radio shows and specials celebrating the best music the genre has to offer.
BBC Four will broadcast a special three-part documentary series, Rock ‘n’ Roll America, exploring the roots of rock music in the USA, its subsequent explosion around the world and how the first wave of rock stars opened the door for modern pop in the decade between 1954 and 1964.
Commissioned by Head of Commissioning, Music, Jan Younghusband, the hour-long programmes will air on Fridays on 3, 10 and 17 July from 9 -10 pm.
