Michael Jackson was an clearly an icon for a whole generation, and his memorial will be part of history. Although this is a sad day for his fans and the music world, it's interesting to see that every broadcaster in the US selected the Flash platform to cover the event online - a validation how scalable and flexible Flash is (large capacities with very short notice). There are expectations that this will be one of the largest live events, therefore it's worth monitoring Akamai's Active Stream monitor.
Here is a list of broadcaster covering the event (with Flash):
CBS News - http://www.cbsnews.com/
CNN - http://www.cnn.com/
ABCNews - http://abcnews.go.com
MSNBC - http://www.msnbc.msn.com
FOXNews - http://www.foxnews.com
Hulu - http://www.hulu.com
UStream - http://www.ustream.tv/
LiveStream - http://www.livestream.com/
Enjoy the event and may Michael rest in peace.
