I waited all day for the parade and to see ALL of it on television. ABC stopped coverage at 6:00pm; therefore dismissing at least one-half of the parade. Was it broadcast in it's entierty, anywhere?

Hi Jim,

I noticed that too. But in clicking around the channels I found it on CSPAN, AND with no commentary either!

Yep. You could actually hear the bands in their entirety on C-Span. I looked through all 250 or so available channels, and they seemed to be the only ones carrying the entirety of the parade.

However, the parade recap on their website is a mess! Some bands got long coverage, others just a few seconds...

Oh well!
