Two ITV1 regions (the Grampian and Scottish regions) will be covering the Edinburgh Hogmanay event. The programme "A Capital New Year 2004" (which will be on from 23:10 until 00:15) will feature:
"Bryan Burnett, Alison Craig and Julyan Sinclair celebrating Hogmanay in style with a night of entertainment to see in the New Year"
For those with Sky Digital these additional ITV1 regions can be viewed, instructions are available on electronics.co.uk.
Please note that the "A Capital New Year 2004" programme is covering many Hogmanay celebrations and not just the 'Concert in the Gardens' event.

The radio station is available in Yorkshire on 106-108fm and via Sky Digital on Channel 896. (Thanks to Mark Brierley for this info)
