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.

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

Charles Gibson will handle the duties for ABC, CBS is sending Katie Couric, while NBC, which has no plans for live coverage, has set aside one-hour in primetime on Tuesday night for a special.

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.
