Michael Jackson's memorial service will be covered all day Tuesday, July 7th by my former colleagues at E! Entertainment Television.
The cable network also announced simultaneous coverage at E! Online.
According to E!, coverage begins at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT.
The announced coverage is a welcome opportunity for fans as Los Angeles officials continue to warn against traveling to the Staples Center without a ticket to the event.
Many Hollywood insiders expect Michael Jackson's funeral to be the largest of any celebrity on record.
Elvis Presley's memorial (the last recording star of Jackson's magnitude) drew 75,000 onlookers.
The LAPD has speculated that those numbers could very well be "blown out of the water" by Jackson's memorial service.
CNN and MSNBC have also announced day-long coverage of Tuesday's service.
Michael Jackson will be buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery, a Hollywood landmark and longtime tourist attraction.
