Live Video Streams of the Royal Wedding
E! Online
The E! entertainment network wants to be the top choice for royal wedding programming. Coverage both online and on TV begins at 4 AM Eastern on Friday. Let's hope they have a red carpet set up.
Viewers have the choice of watching the stream on E!'s website or Liking E! on Facebook and watching the video there.
If you can't be home for the wedding, E! will also stream video live to its free Live from the Red Carpet iPhone app.
YouTube
Your best bet might be YouTube, which should be able to handle the heavy demand. It will begin coverage at 5 AM Eastern and could provide a hype-free alternative to E!.
