Tickets are at a premium to attend Tuesday's Michael Jackson memorial at the Staples Center, but there will be no shortage of coverage on TV.

It was earlier reported that ABC, CNN, MSNBC and E! Entertainment are all planning live coverage of the tribute to the King of Pop, according to the Associated Press.

Now FOX, NBC, and the TV Guide Channel have announced plans to do the same, the wire service reports. Originally, the peacock network had set aside one-hour in primetime on Tuesday night for a special. Now it also plans to offer live coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial on Tuesday.

Charles Gibson will handle the duties for ABC, CBS is sending Katie Couric, but NBC has yet to announce who will anchor its coverage.

The wire service also reports that CNN will air the memorial on both CNN and HLN, as well as broadcast it internationally. Anderson Cooper, Larry King and Don Lemon will anchor for the main network.
