You might be sick of all the Michael Jackson coverage but if you still want to wish him goodbye and didn’t get one of those lottery tickets, there are plenty of options to watch the memorial service on TV.
The major cable networks — HLN, MSNBC, CNN and Fox News — will be in Los Angeles at the Staples Center at 1 p.m. EST. E! Entertainment network, TV Guide Channel and TV One will cover it, too. And so will local broadcast affiliates for CBS (WGCL-TV), NBC (WXIA-TV) and ABC (WSB-TV) using national feeds.
This means WXIA’s “Days of Our Lives” will be pre-empted, followed by part of a repeat of “Martha.”
Steve Riley said WSB-TV will air the ABC national feed from 1 to 3 p.m. and the two soaps “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” will simply skip a day.
WAGA-TV won’t be taking the national Fox feed. Instead, it will keep airing its array of judge shows during the Michael Jackson funeral service.
WGCL has the most confusing changes. “The Price is Right” moves to 3 p.m. from 11 a.m. while “The Young and the Restless” moves to 11 a.m. “As the World Turns” is off for the day while “The Bold and the Beautiful” airs at 12:30 p.m. after the news at noon. The MJ special will air from 1 p.m. til 2:30 p.m. and “Guiding Light” will air in progress until 3 p.m. Got that? If you have a DVR, this might be the time to use it, assuming the cable/satellite folks update their schedules in time.
