The Beatles Channel Celebrates the Release of Restored 1970 Film ‘Let It Be’

Celebrate the release of the restored 1970 film “Let It Be” with exclusive content on The Beatles Channel (Ch. 18).

Special programming includes a new episode of “Fab Fourum” featuring an interview with the film’s director, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and a “Let It Be” special hosted by Chris Carter, plus “Let It Be”-themed episodes of “8 Songs A Week,” “Dark Horse Radio,” and “Across the Universe,” as well as a “Let It Be” celebrity track-by-track album special.

Stream these specials anytime, anywhere, with the SiriusXM app.

When “Let It Be” — director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s original 1970 film about The Beatles — launches on Disney+ on May 8, it will be the first time the film is available in over 50 years. “Let It Be” has been meticulously restored from its original 16-millimeter negative by Peter Jackson and his team at Park Road Post Production. The film’s sound has been remastered using the same machine-assisted-learning de-mix technology that was applied for Peter Jackson’s “Get Back” docuseries.
