You can watch the pope's audience on Thursday mornings, EWTN at 7:20AM.

That is just an excerpt in English where various English speaking groups are introduced to the Pope and he reads the summary in English. For those who understand Italian, EWTN airs the audience live from 4:30AM to 5:30AM (ET) on Wednesday morning. The Pope gives his main catechesis in Italian.
