BBC to stop broadcasting 'high risk' performances live after Bob Vylan Glastonbury row

  • On Thursday, the BBC announced it will stop live-streaming 'high risk' performances after Bob Vylan's controversial Glastonbury set.
  • The BBC assessed Bob Vylan as 'high risk' before Glastonbury but still streamed their performance, believing real-time warnings would mitigate offensive chants, leading to controversy.
  • Despite escalation, the BBC's editorial team chose not to cut the live stream after two warnings, prompting chairman Samir Shah to apologise to the Jewish community.
  • Following the controversy, U.S. visas were revoked, European festivals dropped Bob Vylan, and UK police launched a criminal investigation.
  • BBC will no longer broadcast 'high risk' performances live, implementing on-site editorial support and clearer withdrawal guidelines to prevent future controversies.
