After the pre-show build up, the actual ceromony as such will only last 40 mins or so at the plateau but there's the Liverpool musical at the arena at the weekend - The greatest story ever told.
The idea being that both the oldest peoples meeting place (the plataeu) and the newest (the arena) will feature.
Is any of today's event going to be shown live on British TV ?
I think Granada will be showing something. I heard them mention it on Granada Reports - doubt if it will be live tho'
Does anyone know if its shown on any of the terrestial or Sat channels?
If not, is there a live feed I could get on the 'net?
There were a flood of calls to the Roger Phillips phone-in yesterday bemoaning that we'd missed the boat with this not going out live, something about artists rights etc.
However, Phil Redmond came on and gave a very detailed and satisfactory explaination as to why, by and large this wasn't happening though CBS are doing it, to do with the logistics and companies preferring an edited version with all the highlights and none of the waiting around bits. Apparently over 200 companies have applied for rights to screen parts of it which he said is for more than the likes of the world known F.A. Cup final.
So hopefully we will get to see 5 minutes of it on Granada reports and Northwest tonight ? Silly me it doesn't start till 8 o'clock so we will have to Wait till Monday
Granada TV are showing highlights at 1045pm on Sunday, as well part of the arena concert. Sky News and BBC 24 are expected to show large chunks of it tonight according to todays Daily Post

Could Granada have not put it on a bit later some of use might still be up
Callers to the phone-in today say that already the BBC are on site reporting it on the news, but sadly showed Shard Close, Crocky and mentioned the shootings again as the (dig in the ribs) as the caller called it.
Also ABC and CBS are giving us a good go with a Ringo interview live from Liverpool.
I may even be able to wangle my way into the student flats in the old hotel facing St. Georges - just waiting on a call
Party time...........
I Know, I hope it comes off. I remember seeing all the ponces up there when the xmas lights got switched on, I thought then, I must try and get in there (no jokes about another ponce joining them though please)
Every programme on BBC Radio 2 has mentioned the launch to-night, it has been very positive and there has been lots of Liverpool music. There has been mentions on the news as well.
Here we go, here we go, here we go....
