Sure, the stock markets may be closing on Tuesday in recognition of President Gerald Ford's birthday, but how are the TV news outlets going to handle a day we've always referred to as The Day After New Year's? Lucky you, NBC, ABC, and CBS have all announced just what they're gonna be up to as Ford's body makes its last travels — and they're planning for more than Gerald Ford Day on Jan. 2, but a whole long weekend of nostalgia.

Beginning on Friday, December 29th, ABC will broadcast comprehensive live coverage of the former presidents funeral including ceremonies in California, Washington D.C. and Michigan. Charlie Gibson will anchor the coverage during the weekend of the funeral and the following week. He will be aided by other ABC journalists, analysts and consultants including Barbara Walters, John Cochran, George Stephanopoulos, Ford biographer Richard Norton Smith, among others.

In addition, Gibson will anchor World News from Washington D.C. beginning January 2nd, and Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts and Chris Cuomo will anchor a special edition of Good Morning America.

NBC will begin their coverage of the events on December 30th with Brian Williams anchoring NBC News live from the State Funeral Ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda in D.C. and he will be joined by NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert and special correspondent Tom Brokaw. The network will also cover the January 2nd services at the National Cathedral and, on that day, Williams will be joined once again by Russert and Brokaw–and by Campbell Brown who will report live from the Cathedral.

The Tuesday Today show will be a split edition with Matt Lauer live in D.C. and Meredith Vieira in New York, and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams will also originate from D.C.

And on CBS? Yep, Katie Couric is finally gonna show up for work.
