NEW YORK—The memorial for Michael Jackson may be a tough ticket live, but it shouldn’t be hard to find it on television.
ABC, CNN, MSNBC and E! Entertainment are among the networks that have already announced plans to offer live coverage of the Tuesday memorial, set for 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT, or 1 a.m. Wednesday, Manila time) in Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
ABC is sending anchor Charles Gibson to Los Angeles for the story, setting aside its typical daytime programming.
CBS anchor Katie Couric will also be at the Staples Center, although the network has not yet said whether it was offering live coverage of the memorial.
NBC is not planning live coverage, but will wrap up highlights in a one-hour prime-time special on Tuesday night.
