One World: Together at Home has already been called the “Live Aid of Covid-19,” as the show aims to raise funds for equipment for health workers that are fighting the spread of the disease.
It will be broadcast globally, on television as well as through streaming sites, on April 18 at 8 PM EST (April 19 at 8 AM Chinese time). Streaming sites confirmed to be hosting the show include Alibaba, Amazon Prime Video, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Tencent, Tencent Music Entertainment Group, Twitter, Yahoo and YouTube, while TV stations such as ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC and RTE will also broadcast the show.
