Benefits to you
Sky Arts broadcasts the very best of the Hay Festival on channel 256 and in HD on channel 258.
This year we returned with our two exlcusive programmes, broadcast from a specially constructed studio at the festival.
Hay-on-Sky
Sky Arts will return for the third year to broadcast the best of the festival with a daily programme ’Hay-on-Sky’ presented by Mariella Frostrup, featuring a great line-up of some of the best speakers at the festival including Stephen Fry, David Starkey and Anthony Horowitz, as well as reports from the day’s top sessions.
What the Dickens?
Sky Arts also returns with the filming of their irreverent quiz show, What the Dickens? from the specially built Sky Arts studio on site. Sandi Toksvig will again be hosting the show, with captains Sue Perkins and Chris Addison battling it out. What the Dickens? is a lively and humorous test of each team’s general cultural knowledge to see if they know their Michelangelo’s from their McEwan’s.
Online
In addition to broadcasting the best of the festival Sky Arts also creates an online resource: the dedicated Hay-on-Sky website which features videos, downloads of featured books, recommended reads and exclusive interviews with stars at the festival, not to mention a huge collection of photos from around the festival. The website is due to launch very soon so keep checking here for updates.
