Heh, everyone here must be on holiday (including me), because I don't see any posts on the rollout - which has just been completed as I wrote!   :P

I am hoping that CCTV will be broadcasting the launch "live".   It's only a few hours after the Russian Soyuz-MS 4 launch.

Any idea if there is a schedule live coverage of the launch?

Any idea if there is a schedule live coverage of the launch?

I think so. CCTV will probably follow the coverage method, i.e. something like SpaceX's technical stream on a separate stream (probably at newscctv.net/; maybe someone will take that to YT like last time  ;)) and then detailed coverage before and after the launch.

And even if CCTV pulls out unexpectedly these websites will probably be doing live coverages (it's Wenchang after all):

With this, it's time for moving to live coverage!

It looks like the CCTV reporters are doing some pre-launch coverage right now: http://www.newscctv.net/219h5/#/article?videoId=E7395D9F-A371-5FAE-E29D-5634AC2FF208
