Don't know about you, but CTV's (Canada) coverage was nearly wall-to-wall,
with a lot of good excerpts from around the world, both shortly after they
happened, and later in a five hour(!) wrap-up show after the concert in
Barrie (Toronto) ended (with Neil Young, in his first performance since
emergency surgery for an aneurism). CBC Radio One's coverage was also
quite good, with more of an ear for the older demographics (those who were
in their 20s when the first Live Aid played). By comparison, American
coverage really sucked.
