Prime-time for Inauguration
Not everybody today will get to wallow in coverage of President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
Some folks are at work or school and haven’t been glued to the massive coverage that started before the crack of dawn today and will continue through the afternoon parade and beyond.
For those work-a-day folks, and for those who just haven’t had enough of the sights and sounds of history during, there are prime-time specials aplenty tonight.
CBS’s serves up its hourlong special at 8 p.m. with anchor Katie Couric presiding.
NBC will offer a wrapup hosted by Brian Williams at 9 p.m.
And ABC will have a two-hour special, starting at 7 p.m., featuring “The Neighborhood Ball,” focusing on one of the multitude of celebrations that will be taking place all around Washington tonight. Charlie Gibson and the always glamorous and giddy Diane Sawyer will be on hand.
And, of course, cable news will have wall-to-wall coverage all day and into the night.
But viewers searching for sweeping music, possibly over-the-top prose and a ton of fabulous images, look for one of the broadcast networks to provide that big TV kiss to end this very big day.
Enjoy!
