Based on the past landings, the only 'reliable' source would be if you are lucky enough to get NASA TV from your cable provider. Then again that is also one that said providers like to 'split' with other channels like 'E!' so watch out for 8PM shifts [grin/grimace]!

Barring that, you will probably get varying lengths of broadcast time from the cable newschannels like Fox & CNN. However with an un-witnessed landing and confirmation 15 minutes after the event, these pieces are prone to network babble and coverage of other stories while waiting.

Beyond this, it depends upon the newscycle and interest by media elites. Translation, unlikely for any coverage beyond a 'screen crawl'. 'Uncle Walter' Cronkite was a disaster on Vietnam, but at least he had an enthusiasm for man's effort to explore space. That enthusiasm is notably absent in the MSM ennui about anything involving space these days.

Finally there might be a live feed from the internet. On that you are dependent upon bandwidth and tolerance of refresh rates. Happy watching.
