TMO at MWSF - TMO to Provide Live Coverage of MWSF Keynote

by , 5:40 PM EST, January 10th, 2005

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- As has been our custom for the last 5 years, The Mac Observer will provide live coverage of Steve Jobs' keynote address on Tuesday at Macworld Expo in San Francisco. The keynote begins at 9:00 AM, PST (12:00 PM, EST), and takes place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Our live coverage will be posted on this Web page, which we recommend you bookmark immediately.

In addition to that page, we have created a very cool channel in IRC that will allow you to see our posts directly in an IRC channel dedicated to reading our live coverage. This is in addition to our normal, #macobserver channel. You can find more information about using our IRC channels, including the dedicated TMO Live Reporter channel for Tuesday's keynote address, in a special page we have set up.

Apple announced earlier on Monday that it would not be webcasting the event, a departure from past years when the company provided both a webcast and a live satellite feed. The company will, however, post a recording of the event at 9:00 PM, EST.

Our usual caveat accompanies this announcement, however: Unexpected technical difficulties could preclude us from bringing you live coverage. If so, however, we will post our blow by blow coverage immediately following the keynote itself.

If you have access to a big C-Band dish, you might be able to find a wild feed of the keynote as I have the past few years, usually on Galaxy 3R (some sports bars have these, you might possibly be able to con a bartender into searching the sky for you).

Subject: why no live feed?

Any ideas why there's no live feed this year, other than the usual "not cost-effective from a marketing standpoint"? This has to be THE most anticipated keynote since SJ returned to Apple. Between flashPods, $500 headless Macs, iWork, and breakout boxes, I don't think there's ever been this much fevered pre-keynote speculation, let alone coverage in the mainstream media.

The feed would be nice if TMO had provided enough capacity for the expected demand. 15 minutes before 9 AM PST, it was full and remained that way.
