Did Fox News stream the Michael Jackson memorial live online?”
On Tuesday, July 7th at 10:00 AM PT, there will be a memorial for the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The response has been huge: 1.6 million people signed up for just 17,500 tickets. Luckily, you do not have to be there in person to pay tribute to Jackson’s memory, as there will be multiple live streams of the event on the web. In fact, as we reported last Friday, Michael Jackson’s memorial may very well be the biggest single web event in history, if you consider the staggering response of the web when he died. Facebook/CNN, MySpace, Hulu/Fox News, Ustream/CBS News, and others will all carry a live video feed from the event. Here are the details on each: The popular premium content video website Hulu will be carrying a feed of the event, starting at 9:30 AM PST. This stream will be provided via the Fox News Channel.
The memorial is on TV today, including LIVE coverage on FOX News hosted by Shepard Smith. But for those who aren’t near a TV today, Fox is also streaming it live right here on FoxNews.com. According to the blogpost “Michael Jackson Memorial – Online and On-Air” by Jill Dobson: I’ll be covering the memorial itself and the lead-up to it from 12-2pmET on Strategy Room. Reporters Anita Vogel and Adam Housley are covering the expected family funeral and the public memorial in Los Angeles for Fox News, and may also be joining us with live reports on Strategy Room. At 2pm, I’ll head over to FOX News Radio, where I’ll join host Todd Starnes to discuss the performances, the attendees, and more.
CBSNews.com, which is owned by CNET parent CBS, plans to stream video provided by Los Angeles-based station KCBS, as well as other sources. TV.com, also a CBS property, plans to stream the CBSNews.com content as well. CNN plans to stream the memorial service with hosts Anderson Cooper, Larry King, Don Lemon, and Soledad O’Brien. ABCNews.com plans to stream live with commentary from Charles Gibson. Fox News’ live stream will be hosted by Shepard Smith, with Greta Van Susteren and Megyn Kelly providing live reports from the scene.
