It was free in Canada and aired on one the national networks (CTV). The
network showed select international footage, from 7am until 11am,
Eastern Daylight Time. It then showed the concert in Barrie, Ontario,
until it ended, at 8pm. The footage was interspersed with select
performances from the other concerts. A recap show aired from 8pm
until well after 1am, showing many more of the international
performances, as well as highlights from the Barrie show.
In the U.S., I believe it was shown on MTV and/or VH1. A two-hour
highlight package also aired at 8pm on ABC (the American ABC, not the
Australian ABC).
Not sure about other countries.
