Does anyone know if NASA TV/PAO is switching over to surface operations at UA?

Looks like they are going to cover surface ops from EDL/JPL. At least for the first pictures which is all PAO will cover.
Hopefully UA will do as good as or better job than the MER folks have done. |

WOW I've never seen this many people here before! What a great night! I was actually with my family during landing 'cuz we were having a birthday party. I was watching live on the science channel when at T-5 minutes to landing my grandma was like "ok time for cake! *clicks TV off*" I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!". I don't think I've ever ran for the TV remote so fast in my life!

Power positive so the solar arrays appear to have deployed!
