“We Are the World” is broadcast simultaneously around the world on thousands of radio stations.

The broadcast turns the single into a global media event rather than a normal chart release. It reinforces the scale of the USA for Africa campaign and Michael’s central role as co-writer.

This page should eventually include broadcast partners, exact timing and international press coverage.
