The Proms are broadcast live on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3. This includes 75 concerts from the Royal Albert Hall and 13 concerts from Cadogan Hall.

Related programming across the schedule brings rich context and insights to the music. There are daily interviews and performances by Proms artists on In Tune, a Proms focus in Summer CD Review, highlights from Proms Plus and the Proms Literary Festival in Twenty Minutes, and regular Proms updates from presenters and listeners in Breakfast.

Petroc Trelawny presents the Proms Preview Evening on the eve of the season's opening, and Sean Rafferty and Petroc Trelawny jointly host a special In Tune, broadcast live from the Royal College of Music on the First Night of the Proms, capturing the anticipation and excitement as the festival begins.

Three Proms-related music features during the season include Why Mahler?, a documentary reassessing the composer's life and music through the prism of its effect on people's lives, presented by Norman Lebrecht (18 July).

Pianist Joanna MacGregor presents Scriabin – A Life In Colour, and explores the eccentric world of this Russian composer (14 August) while in Sir Henry's Hoard Stephen Johnson looks at Wood's bound collection of thousands of concert programmes from across Europe, dating from the earliest years of the 20th century and recently discovered in a dark corner of the British Library (4 September).

Norman Lebrecht's in-depth interviews with leading musicians, about their lives and careers are also back on Monday evenings during the Proms.
