I just got the rumors confirmed from this weekends San Jose Mercury.
The Arts and Entertainment Network will be running a 3 part special in
July called "Moonwalk : As it Happened". You may recall that on the
25th anneversary of the Kennedy assasination, they ran over 5 hours
of the November 23 (?) NBC coverage from the time the NBC tech turned
on the videotape till JFK's body was delivered home. Apparently they
intend on doing the same for Apollo 11, unfortunately they'll be
using NBC coverage as before.
No info on how much it'll be. The original coverage totalled well over
30 hours. I assume that they'll handle launch, landing/moonwalk and
splashdown. None of the translunar/transearth tv will be shown.
