Where to watch the Michael Jackson memorial online

Posted by Serge Jespers on Jul 7, 2009 in Flash Platform, flash video | 2 comments

Today we say goodbye to one of the biggest (if not the biggest) pop icons of our time. Some already call this the media event of the century. Over 1.6 million people registered to get a ticket for the event in Los Angeles. Only 8700 people were selected.

This is surely going to be an event that is going to watched by many. If not on TV, then most certainly on the web. I watched that other big event earlier this year (Obama’s inauguration) live on CNN.com with no hiccups whatsoever so I’ll probably watch the memorial there as well. I thought it was a good idea to give a quick overview on where you can watch the event online.

CNN.com (CNN is teaming up with Facebook)
FoxNews
ABCnews
CBSnews (using uStream.tv)
Hulu (Not available outside the US)
USAToday (Using Livestream.com)
NYTimes
MySpace
MSN/MSNBC
E! Online (via Justin.tv)

Coincidentally/As far as I know all of the above are using Flash to stream this event to no doubt hundreds of thousands of viewers. Yes… You are right… This post should not be about promoting the Flash Platform.
