Preshow coverage on TV starts at 0400 EDT; 6 short hours from now.

Did *you* make special plans? :slight_smile:

Not just that ... Youtube is apparently expecting 400 million (?!) viewers!

Must say the quality of the Youtube coverage has been very good, in all senses.

Interesting early on the youtube feed lagged 20+ seconds behind the 'live' BBC TV, then during the ceremony was almost simulataneous.
