TVNZ, TV3 and Sky will all provide live coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service this Wednesday morning from 5.00am.New Zealanders will have their choice this Wednesday morning, with both TV One and TV3 planning to provide live coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service from 5.00am.

TVNZ's broadcast of the Los Angeles memorial will be hosted by Breakfast presenters Ali Mau and Paul Henry, and will run through until 9.00am. TV3's will likely be introduced by Sunrise hosts Carly Flynn and Oliver Driver. Although one does hope the networks will not have "hosts" speaking too much throughout the service.

E! Entertainment Channel will also provide live coverage of the Michael Jackson memorial on Sky channel 11.

The service will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angles, and 11,000 free tickets were given out to fans. A further 6,500 tickets were available for fans watch the service live on the big screen across the road at the Nokia Theatre.

Jackson family spokesperson Ken Sunshine said that "everything about the memorial has to do with accommodating as many fans as possible. It is all about the fans."

Terrible coverage by TV3, didn't learn a thing from the Inauguration Ceremony live coverage.
