Here's How to Stream Trump's Presidential Inauguration
Cheetos are recommended as a snack while you watch.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States at noon on Friday, January 20. The world will be watching — and here’s how you can follow along.
The usual fanfare will begin with the swearing-in ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time when Trump will take the oath of office and make his first official speech to the American people as president. The inaugural parade will begin at 3 p.m. Eastern, and then, at night, President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and his wife, Karen, will attend three inaugural balls. It’s a full day filled with stress and tears (of both joy and fear).
CNN, Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC will all be readily available with inauguration coverage for those in the world with a television. If you’re only working with a computer and a somewhat reliable internet connection, fear not: your options are actually more diverse than the average cable-watcher’s.
