Since Congress is not in session now, it'd likely be the main C-Span. But it will be listed on their page Wednesday, and if you are curious what other networks might cover it - use your remote control that afternoon...

Nice thing about living here near the Cape. We get analog NASA TV, digital NASA TV, and HD NASA TV. Decisions, decisions...
I think I'll watch NASA TV.
Cheers,
Larry

Actually, PRSD reactants load should have begun at 05:30 am EDT with LOX load. Should be complete at the top of the hour(08:00 am EDT).
At the same time as LOX load concludes, LH2 load should begin and get completed at 10:30 am EDT.
There's a countdown status briefing coming up at 10 am EDT.

There is no analog NASA TV anymore, they went all digital last summer.

"T-19 at noon EST"
We here in the states use Daylight Saving Time - so it'll be noon EDT.
My Bad...
Question, did we start early, is the next hold 4 hours or is it extended?
edit: answered.. 6 hours early

Has anyone heard whether or not any of the three major US TV networks will be doing this one? Seemed like ABC was the prominent one for 121.
ALWAYS count on cnn and c-span. c-span more than cnn because they (c-span) don't have the news commentary and the titles that take up half the screen.
Yeah, I get CNN on my satellite package. I also forgot, that because there is a Canadian on this one, our two major 24-hour news channels ( CTV Newsnet and CBC Newsworld ) up here will have extensive coverage. They always cover the launches Live but it will probably be more extensive because of Maclean.

Darn shame I might be 30 seconds behind on NASA TV for the launch since I'll have to watch the webcast of it in class instead of live TV. Oh well. Any word from Roger on latest processing ops?
I feel your pain, man. I'll be teaching a class, but might have to momentarily find parallels between English and a space shuttle launch, directing my students to NASA TV via my laptop. Shouldn't be too much of a stretch should it?
: )
Well I'll help ya think of something. My dad minored in English in college so if we come up with anything we'll let ya know. Maybe just try saying "Who wants to watch a space shuttle launch live?" You may be surprised by the response. What's ten minutes out of a ninety-minute course? Hopefully I'll be able to convince my instructor to let me loose a little early since we're usually gone at 11:30 anyway. What's once a semester anyway?! Next shuttle launch isn't until two days after final exams
Maybe I can make the five-minute hike to the apartment from the architecture building in time to catch it on CSPAN

STS-115 Countdown Status Briefing
At the 10 a.m. EDT countdown status briefing on Monday, all systems were reported "go" for the scheduled launch of Atlantis on Wednesday at 12:29 p.m.
Jeff Spaulding, NASA test director, said that the loading of both the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen has been completed and they are "tracking no issues at this time and we're right on track with all of our timelines." Spaulding indicated that the retraction of the rotating service structure is currently planned for 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Spaulding said, "I'm pleased to announce that the wait is nearly over and we'll be ready on Wednesday for Atlantis' launch."
Robbie Ashley, STS-115 payload manager, explained that the STS-115 payload had "no work planned or required during the delay" and that the only payload work remaining would be an experiment stow on Tuesday.
Kathy Winters, shuttle weather officer, reported favorable weather for the midday launch time on Wednesday, with only 20 percent chance of weather interfering with liftoff.
Later today, NASA TV will also carry the Launch Readiness News Conference live from Kennedy. Updating the launch status and answering questions from the media will be LeRoy Cain, launch integration manager, Mike Leinbach, shuttle launch director, and U.S. Air Force First Lt. Kaleb Nordgren of the 45th Weather Squadron at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Coverage will begin at approximately 4 p.m.
