Sen. Edward Kennedy's funeral ceremonies will be carried live on cable's C-SPAN this weekend, starting with Friday night's "Celebration of Life Memorial Service" 7-9 p.m. ET from Massachusetts' JFK presidential library.
Saturday's C-SPAN coverage includes the Boston funeral mass 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET and the Arlington National Cemetery burial service at 5:30 p.m. ET.
Other news outlets are likely to carry coverage as well. But C-SPAN is, of course, commercial-free, and generally pundit-free, too.
