The Arts on 91Èȱ¬ Television - 91Èȱ¬ ONE


91Èȱ¬ ONE makes bold, exciting television across all subjects, including arts, and plays a vital role in bringing arts and music to a wide public.


91Èȱ¬ ONE broadcasts landmark arts programmes that engage viewers with some of the greatest figures in the arts.


Following the success of major documentaries on key female writers – George Eliot and Jane Austen – in 2003 91Èȱ¬ ONE will also be looking at the lives and works of the Brontës and Mary Shelley.


Other major pieces for 2003 onwards include programmes on Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Christopher Wren.


91Èȱ¬ ONE also develops popular formats such as Rolf On Art which unashamedly share the fascination of art with the broadest possible audience. A recent survey showed that 50 per cent of Rolf On Art viewers said they were new to arts programmes and 40 per cent agreed that watching the series made them more likely to try TV arts programmes in the future.


An innovation on 91Èȱ¬ ONE for 2003 is a new arts strand, Imagine.


Presented by Alan Yentob – former head of arts at the 91Èȱ¬ and chairman of the Institute Of Contemporary Arts – Imagine will put a fresh face on the arts and take a regular look at the people and topics making waves in the arts world.


The 91Èȱ¬ Proms continue to be shown on 91Èȱ¬ ONE, bringing world-class classical performance to a wide audience.


Jonathan Ross and Film 2003 continue to review the cinema scene with wit and topicality.


91Èȱ¬ ONE is committed to broadcasting a minimum of 45 hours of arts and music programmes a year and in 2002/2003 has already exceeded this figure.
