The video coverage hasn't begun yet, but text updates are already appearing--fueling of the Falcon Heavy with super-chilled LOX and RP-1 kerosene will begin in about 40 minutes.
The live coverage is beginning now (and *here* www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXMGu2d8c8g is a larger-frame version on YouTube, linked from the SpaceFlightNow page whose link is above)--the countdown is at T-14 minutes and counting!
