Live Inauguartion Links

by Sharon Caher — last modified Jan 19, 2009 07:17 AM

If you are in a building without TV/Cable access, the inauguration can be viewed on line. Here are some suggestions. Please review the District Inauguration Viewing Plan found in Related Item(s) below.

You'll find lots of places online to watch president-elect Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday. Make sure the check the district website for a list of links on Tuesday morning.

Here's a partial list of links and sites for online vieiwng:
(Some direct links to the stream were not available on Sunday when this was posted.)

• The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which is in charge of all the inaugural activities at the Capitol, will stream the entire event at its Web site, complete with closed captioning. The site has a wealth of information about what happens on Inauguration Day, including a handful of inaugural videos dating back to President Dwight Eisenhower's 1957 swearing-in ceremony, as well as videos of presidential luncheons dating back to the inauguration of John Kennedy. (It also reveals, for those interested, the recipe for Obama's luncheon meal, which features a main course of pheasant and duck served with sour cherry chutney.)

• CBS News will have day-long live coverage January 20 on TV and the Web, starting at 7 a.m. EDT. Katie Couric will also host a special Webcast that night with reporters and punditry, for which viewers can submit questions.

• MSNBC will be live streaming the event on its home page and politics section, and visitors can embed the video into their own sites. Its inauguration page also features videos of inaugurations from decades past.

• Fox News will provide live streaming coverage via Hulu beginning at noon for about two hours. After the live stream, Hulu will provide on-demand access to the ceremony. The live stream is embeddable, as is an inauguration countdown from Hulu. The video site's Obama Presidency page also features related content like speeches, commentary, satire, and past inaugural speeches.

• C-SPAN will debut its Inauguration Hub on January 20, featuring an online "control room"--a multichannel grid designed by Mogulus with Webcasts of inauguration activities. Visitors will be able to choose from one of four live feeds featuring events like the swearing in at the Capitol, the parade, and a number of inaugural balls.

• CNN is offering four streams on Tuesday. Because they are partnering with Facebook, this is not a sure bet for district viewing.

• The New York Times, the AP's online video network, and the Online NewsHour will also live stream inauguration coverage.
