Some clips of locations which i have researched for secondary research that are shown on a music television programme are Glastonbury, music awards show, Leeds Festivals and also Fusion festival, which are all shown on mtv news. all these locations have been shown/featured on the music channel or the news channel about music. For example MTV news UK talk about the Glastonbury festival, the location of the festival and how they set up and prepare for the festival. The location which MTV use to film their news about music television is in london, as they have studios for all sorts of different productions. This is because London is easily accessible to producers as the majority of towns and city have a train which go to London, as well as majority of the UK presenters and artists are from around the south area.
