Jackson's Memorial Service to Be Streamed Across the Web

by Warren Riddle on July 7, 2009 at 11:01 AM


To further the media saturation of Michael Jackson's death, numerous Web sites now plan to broadcast today's memorial service, which is set to include musical performances by Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Lionel Ritchie, and Smokey Robinson, according to CNET. News outlets surprisingly haven't reported whether or not Jackson's pet chimp Bubbles will attend the star-studded event.

Live Web broadcasts of the event will begin at 12:30 EST on Hulu, MySpace, Facebook, Justin.tv, and TV.com. Television networks streaming coverage through their own sites include CNN, CBSnews.com, ABCnews.com, and FOXnews.com. Hopefully, after the memorial gala, the excessive coverage and rampant speculating will die down, so perhaps the pop icon can rest in some semblance of peace. [From: BusinessInsider and CNET]
