1. I'm hoping c-span is right there
with the cameras but I see no evidence on their site that they're going in.

They are doing a Special on Blair House, Saturday.

2. I've been thinking about this too. I don't like MSNBC very much. CNN so-so.
I'm thinking about one of the big three, but I don't know yet. I'm thinking about looking for another cheap DVR or renting one for the event.

3. I'd avoid commericial stations.
They tend to view any major event as an opportunity to aggrandize their douchebag talking heads. January 20 is not about Wolf Blitzer or Chris Matthews. It's about Barack Obama.

I'd stick to C-SPAN or PBS.

6. C-Span, MSNBC and Fox
C-Span = no commercials and no political garbage

MSNBC = they are on our side

Fox = I wanna see as much of this meltdown as I possibly can
