Official: Sky1 to air the Sticky & Sweet Tour

After rumours in the UK press earlier this week - it is now confirmed that Sky1 will premiere the Sticky & Sweet Tour on Saturday 04 July.

See more, hear more, feel everything....Sky1 presents Madonna in stunning high definition!
On the 4th of July, Sky1 and Sky1HD will play host to a unique, sexy, and incredible event: the exclusive premiere of Madonna: Sticky and Sweet, a very special live concert recorded in December 2008 at the River Plate Stadium in in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Madonna: Sticky and Sweet features the iconic star’s greatest hits and songs from her latest studio album, Hard Candy. The controversial, record-breaking tour features four sections: ‘Pimp,’ ‘Old School,’ ‘Gypsy’ and ‘Rave’ and has won universal praise with The Times remarking, 'In the premiere league of song-and-dance spectaculars, the queen of pop remains unrivalled and undefeated.' Madonna: Sticky and Sweet was directed by Nathan Rissman (Madonna’s 'I Am Because We Are') and is a Live Nation Production.
Stuart Murphy, Director of Programming, Sky1, 2 and 3, commented: 'Spend a fantastic night with one of the world’s biggest music stars live in your living room…in high definition. HD will make audiences feel like they’re literally there with her. It’s fantastic, event television that only Sky1 can offer and the show is sure to set temperatures soaring this summer.'

To Daniel, with TV broadcasts there are usually 3 or 4 songs cut out of the broadcast, so where as any true Madonna fan will buy the DVD regardless of seeing it on TV, people who may not have been interested, but caught the broadcast may well then want to see the full uncut show (with no ad breaks) and also purchase the DVD. So really, the broadcast is just one very long (and very good) advert for the upcoming DVD. Me personally (being in the UK) cant wait!!!!

my question exactly, Daniel.
grrr at least can we get a US show?
...and the age-old question...where's the BA tour? lol

Sometimes I don't understand the business side of things.. is this better than putting a DVD up for sale???
