slooh.com will have a live show on the flyby starting at 12:30 pm edt (until tonight when daylight saving time ends)
they’ll have a big telescope trained on what they’re calling the spooky asteroid

Got me on that one. I must have missed the /s along the way.
I haven't had a TV for over 10 years. I'm a conservative with things to do. TV would just waste my time.Others may get different results.
