America is preparing for a big change. Tomorrow, we bid adieu to the Bush administration and welcome in Barack Obama.
Most of us will not be braving the Washington cold to attend the inauguration. That’s OK. You can catch it no matter where you are.
As you would expect, all of the major news outlets will cover the festivities. You’ll be able to watch the inauguration live on the Web.
Live coverage begins at 7 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on some sites. So, you’ll need to be up early if you want to catch it all. The coverage should last all day.
Here are just a few sites that are broadcasting the inauguration.
• Hulu is providing live coverage from Fox News. You can also watch the inauguration on-demand after the live coverage.
