Not that this will matter much to the Southern California TV viewers who'll automatically look first for Bill Welsh on KTTV-Channel 11 before tuning into the usual coverage of the Rose Parade on KTLA-Channel 5, watching Bob Eubanks and ... wait, Stephanie Edwards is back? ... call all pedal-by-pedal action.

(It starts at 6 a.m. with the "Backstage" show, followed at 7 a.m. by the "Countdown," then the actual live parade at 8 a.m, replayed at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., or more times than "Everybody Hates Chris")

But ABC (via KABC Channel 7) is also covering the floating festival prelude to the USC-Penn State football game. Live as well, starting at 8 a.m.

Hosted by ...
