holy lord. 69th street was a madhouse. Those of us with transfer tickets were like the folks in titanic who managed to get lifeboats. Everyone else was like Leo and his foreign buddy.

City hall, here we come!

cheers ace. I've checked and yeah, it's on csnphilly.com from 12 your time.

WIZ!

do you have a link for the CSN web coverage? I've got the fox stuff, but omniscience is how I roll

fox internet coverage is pleasantly disorganized - open mike catching some random talking head - talking. He doesn't seem to know the mike's live

I went to get on the Rail line at Exton. They were turning people away. I heard on KYW that the only way to get on the rail was to go to the originating stations of each rail line. I went to Thorndale to try and 500 people were waiting in line. KYW reports the trains are simply going past the platforms once the trains are full and the trains have been full before Paoli so every stop has been passed from Paoli and east. Police are going to the platforms because idiots are trying to grab onto the trains as they go by.

Needless to say - I'm now watching from my desk.

Should have stayed in the city last night.

http://csnphilly.com/pages/main

just this right now (it's a big ad third story in?) , but presumably not starting for a while, since it's saying coverage at 12, and I make 10:50 stateside time right now.

i think csn coverage starts around 11:30
some of the philly stations are starting around 11

NBC is covering preparade stuff now

edit: the traffic guy basically said to drive until you hit traffic and then park and start walking

thenkew

I had that page, thought there was a more specific linkey deal

the fox feeds are entertaining, apparently their habit is to just turn cameras & mics on before they're officially live

So the city and Septa tell everyone to take the train and then they don't even add extra trains? Brilliant.

is there something weird happening my end, or is there no coverage yet on csn/mlb?

The CSN website link just goes to mlb.com anyway.

You should be getting parade coverage on CSN. They're interviewing people on the street.

Nevermind: you are using the internet feed, which might start when the parade starts around 12.
