LIVE8.. Key word: LIVE

With the Live8 concert only 4 days away, it seems only fair that i decided to see what channel 9 had in store for my viewing pleasure... little did i know that channel 9 will NOT be broadcasting the concert live...(Live8 not live?? what the??) but will show a "highlights package" THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT. Instead the concert will be broadcast LIVE on PAY TV FOXTEL....
