They haven't for any of the recent launches, so I don't think so.

Oh! What's Vesti's coverage like? I'm assuming it'll be shortly before launch just for the first part of first stage? I'm trying to work out if this is worth making a live coverage thread.

No idea, I think the first time a live Vesti coverage was provided was with M-65, and I lost the event...

Perhaps anik knows more details, I've been searching in Novosti and Vesti but nothing obvious came up.

I can only get about 10 seconds of video before it freezes right now....
Works fine for me with Firefox and the WMP plugin in this link: http://www.vesti.ru/videos?vid=onair
That works for me in IE. Question is if I can stay awake

Same thing here with FF 3.06 with WMP plug-in. No buffering issues or anything. Great quality for a net broadcast! Beats Yahoo!'s NASA TV 1.2 MB/s feed by miles!

According to my records the previous launch of a Progress vehicle from LC31 PU-6 was on October 27th, 1992 when a 11A511U2 Soyuz-U2 (?15000-061) launched Progress M-15 to the Mir space station.

Yes. in 1992 there were three Propress lunches from Pad 31/6, Progress M-13 in June, Progress M-14 in August and finally Progress M-15 on October 27.
