Television Planning to Cover Michael Jackson


NBC executives have changed their minds Sunday and decided to join other networks that will televise Michael's memorial's service live this week. NBC has offered to show the ceremony live along with other stations such as, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and E! Entertainment. It's set for 10 am Tuesday at the Los Angeles Staples Center.

NBC had planned to have a one hour prime time special on Tuesday night but decided Sunday to cover the event. It is not said who will anchor the event. Charles Gibson on the other hand is anchoring the event for ABC which is setting aside typical daytime programming. CBS anchor, Katie Couric, will be at the Staples Center. The network has not said yet if they will cover the memorial.

CNN has seen their rating soar with the Jackson story, and it will show the memorial on the main network as well as HLN. CNN International will are the ceremony to the rest of the world. For CNN's anchors, there is Anderson Cooper, Larry King, and Don Lemon. Robin Meade, A.J. Hammer and Jane Velez-Mitchell will anchor HLN. CNN en Espanol will also cover the event. I guess this is going to be a big deal.

Chris Jansing will anchor live coverage of the memorial for MSNBC. Fox News Channel has yet to release their plans yet. E! Entertainment will be covering the memorial on their station and web site as well.
