There will be a broadcast. That's what all the Local Kickoff events are going to show.

I note that the label is now Local, rather than Remote. Quite a different meaning to use for the same thing, but I think it's very appropriate. It puts the focus on the teams around the world, rather than on the single stage in New Hampshire.

The Wisconsin kickoff is now listed on the page.

Many teams get together to watch the broadcast as a team. 116 always does.

Of course, but will it be on NASA TV? I ask because we'd like to have the majority of our team watch the kickoff from the school. If it's going to be on some other satellite feed, then I need to make special arrangements. The local kickoff page does not give the satellite broadcast details like it has done for the past few years.
