Watch the Inauguration Online

Stuck at work on Tuesday? Don’t want to make the trip to DC, but want so much coverage you feel like you are there? With all the online options available you don’t have an excuse to miss it- unless you are actively avoiding coverage.

Thanks to the NYTimes for this listing of coverage:

Dry, government funded C-SPAN is going to have the most extensive coverage because really, what else are they going to show? It’s using Mogulus to webcast a multichannel grid of inauguration activities from Saturday through Tuesday — everything from events with the families of the President-elect and Vice President-elect to Bush departing the White House to the many inaugural balls.

CBS News will be streaming its broadcast coverage from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, along with the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric at 6:30 p.m, Couric’s one-hour inauguration special at 9 p.m., and her CNET webcast, including responses to viewer questions submitted throughout the day, at 10 p.m. Go to www.cbsnews.com/inauguration.

ABC News will provide online coverage anchored by Sam Donaldson and Rick Klein from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET on ABCNEWS.com. It will embed coverage of Obama taking the oath of office directly on its homepage from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET.

MSNBC will live stream inauguration coverage on its home page and politics.msnbc.com, and it will be embeddable onto your own site or blog.

If you are a republican, or want the most cynical coverage you can watch on FOX:

Fox News will show its “The Strategy Room” webcast “throughout the day,” according on FOXNews.com, and it will be hosting a discussion of the day’s events on its Facebook page.

CNN will be streaming the Inauguration on CNN Live, and it will incorporate Facebook status updates from users logged onto Facebook Connect at CNN.com. It will also feature an on-camera anchor live at the Facebook offices to report on trends and anecdotes from users’ inauguration-related activities.

The Associated Press will provide a webcast to its 2,000-plus affiliates starting at 7 a.m. ET with anchored coverage from 10 a.m. on its Online Video Network syndication service, including live camera feeds from the parade and various landmarks in D.C.

USA Today and the rest of Gannett’s newspapers are using Mogulus to live stream on their sites, but we don’t have their specific plans yet. See USAToday.com.

The New York Times will stream Obama’s speech and swearing-in on its home page.
