Canadian and American military forces will be able to rock with the Rolling Stones thanks to a broadcast deal signed today.
Troops working overseas in places like Afghanistan, Bosnia and Egypt will get to see the 11-hour MuchMoreMusic program, noon to 11 p.m. through the Canadian Forces television network.
American soldiers will receive a feed of the two-hour CBC broadcast from 9 to 11 p.m.
"Hundreds of thousands of American troops in Iraq, Korea, Europe and Japan and elsewhere will have the opportunity to watch this great show," said John McCallum, federal minister of national defence.
The British and Australian forces were also being considered for the feed, although there were several technical problems to work out, said McCallum, who along with dozens of politicians will attend Wednesday's show.
Concert organizers said they may plan something special for the soldiers watching from abroad.
"We're delighted to bring some entertainment that they aren't expecting to see into their life in foreign parts of the world," said Steve Howard, of TGA Entertainment, speaking on behalf of the acts performing at Wednesday's concert.
"I'm now going to figure out a way to organize 400,000 people to give them a nice, warm hello and give them a solid applause."
