BLANKET COVERAGE FOR OBAMA SPEECH

All Thai television stations were carrying live coverage of Barack Obama's inauguration speech shortly after 12am this morning.
All the stations took a live feed from CNN except Channel 9 which had Fox News coverage.
As a media junkie (and due to the inability of my cats to understand the night means sleep) I was awake and watched most of the ceremony. Judging by the lack of traffic on my morning commute this morning it's possible a lot of Bangkokians did the same.

    Channel 5's feed of the inauguration was from AP television.

    Although the reception for Channel 5 is not very clear at my house, I chose to watch that channel because they were just translating the proceedings and not constantly yammering on with commentary.

    Hence, I could actually listen to the Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman performance (which it turns out now was synched to a recording).
