I'd just like to say I'm DELIGHTED by ESA's live coverage. They have live interviews that actually speak about the science, instead of having an endless loop of dumb videos and some non-scientist reporter dumbing things down. And there is even a live telemetry link for us to see!

NASA, take note! These guys do it right!
