The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has a new television home.
The 2023 ceremony, which has aired on HBO since 1995, is moving to Disney+ and ABC as part of a new deal.
It will broadcast live coast-to-coast on Disney+ on Friday November 3. Disney-owned linear network ABC will air a special with performances on January 1.
It marks the latest livestream for Disney+, which aired the Elton John show earlier this year.
