MTV News is reporting the service will be delayed by a few minutes as the Jackson family is in transit to the Staples Center.
Many Twitterers are already watching special pre-show programming on various channels:

resident_md http://twitpic.com/9lnvw – Outside the Staples Center. Tons of people and media.
Speculated costs aside, the city of Los Angeles is being affected by the memorial in several ways:
erazorblade MJ is about shut downtown Los Angeles down. He has made History, again.
thevcb on the freeway heading towards the Staples Center….parking is going to be insane
akgupta65 Stay away from downtown Los Angeles today. Watch the Michael Jackson memorial on tv instead. Traffic will be mayhem!
sheljena Driving to Los Angeles airport… Having to go wayyyyy out around to avoid MJ memorial traffic… Too bad we did’t get tix
katbockli Jackson Fans Flood Hotels, Flights: Los Angeles may be experiencing an economic slump, but the Michael Jackson m.. http://tinyurl.com/nf4bok
InMyProOpinion Looks like the freeway that the caravan is taking is shut down – that is major for Los Angeles – shutting down entire freeways from SB to LA
RealCDotMooDy MJ has officially shut los angeles down!!! get em MIKE,
Many say the memorial coverage will go down in history as the “biggest media event” ever:
Twitocalypse the biggest media event begins. RIP MJ
scottfoley Prepare for the internet to slow down to a crawl again today. MJ’s funeral “biggest worldwide media events in history” http://is.gd/1q0St
Krochmal My interest in MJ is that his funeral is a huge media event, perhaps the biggest global event we have seen, setting new standards.
KobeB94 Some may not want to watch the MJ coverage, keep in mind this is the biggest media event EVER! 1,000,000,000 people world wide TV and web
eug CNN making the case: Saying today’s MJ service will be biggest media & Internet broadcast *ever*. Saying no comparison to previous events.
poniewozik Consensus: This is the biggest Internet/TV/media moment ever. Until the next one.
barbhogan The biggest media event in the history of the world? Seriously? Warped priorities. #mj
Metrulzica http://twitpic.com/9lpc8 – The biggest global media event that has ever taken place in the history of media is going on NOW!
thegingerpire Expecting an internet fail in a half hour. This is one of the biggest media events in history. I’m excited I get to witness it.
kevingosztola #michaeljackson memorial biggest event L.A. has seen since 1984 Olympics; media coverage equal to/more than coverage of Obama’s Inauguration
Tweeters are torn on whether the memorial should be a celebration of Jackson’s life:
Smokeme_aKipper @levarburton http://twitpic.com/9lrs9 – I hope it’s a dignified celebration. Also, the MJ effect must be slowing the net again.
Lino0524 Damn…kinda shook about MJ…this memorial is a celebration…but damn its still tough…RIP MJJ…
RabbiShmuley We have to remember that someone actually died. it should not be a celebration,it’s a tragedy,yet it has a carnival like feel and atmosphere
lisafabio Unfortunately there’s many people here that care more about a “show” than the celebration of michael. I’m not one of them
FluffyFatRabbit MJ’s memorial celebration looks like its going to be a good one
moe674 Watching the celebration of the life of MJ, he’s getting the best send off ever. RIP to the king of pop
Many MJ fans expressed disappointment that they can’t watch any of the coverage:
cobycampbell At tech orientation…sad I’m missing the michael jackson memorial service
raggamuffinn Back to work ughh, I’m missing mj’s memorial service! Thank goodness for dvr
contumacious So upset I’ll be at work missing the MJ memorial service. *Coughs* Uh oh I feel a cold coming on, I better call out sick. Rofl smh.

GoTeeBK Editing like crazy. I’m missing the MJ service. Have to catch up with it tonight. RIP MJ.
Attendees at the Staples Center received a special program for the event:
LexAve MJ’s official program will be a collectible item #michaeljackson
FresnoBeware Michael Jackson’s father, Joe not mentioned in memorial program. Probably in respect to MJ who spoke out against abuse by Joe as child.
writerchica The MJ program is glossy, 8 pages long with messages from loved ones. Will tweet some.
karenbs Pic of mj memorial program – filled w/ton of great photos http://yfrog.com/18hyaj
byrdj RT Inside program: notes and letters from family and friends: Dunk, La Toya, Tito, Rebbi, Uncle Tookie, etc. #MJ http://twitpic.com/9lsy4
TheRootBuzz The Official Program from MJ Memorial: Here’s a picture of the program being given out http://ad.vu/xhv5 (via @leighdav)
Memorial begins with Smokey Robinson reading statements from those who couldn’t attend, including Diana Ross and Nelson Mandela:
TheFollowMonstr Smokey @ the staple center making remarks…..I never thought Smokey would out live Mike……..
LenaBadAzz @RaDiio0 smokey robinson just read a message from diana ross she’s not there….
TVGuide With the MJ ceremony underway with Smokey Robinson, the mood is reserved and calm. The stage is bedecked in flowers and lit in blue.-TM
Tweeters seem confused by lack of action since Robinson left the stage:
SailorX If we had a program with names of presenters it would say, “after Smokey Robinson, sev min of uncomofortable silence.” #mj #msnbc
BritGeographic Now a very long pause while everyone tries to figure out wtf is going on. Is it a long moment of silence or a mistake in the MJ program?
beachgal22 So, the press doesn’t know the program details for the #MJ Memorial… “unexplained lull” is the new “hanging chad”.
Mrs_Smith09 the silence in the Staple Center is so creepy…heart wrenching…RIP MJ
charleshaine Super long pause after the opening, one dude screams “I love you michael” then back to dignified silence. Bet that dude feels awkward.
eleanormcgrath Enough of the stupid freaking silence at Michael Jackson’s funeral.
linpo383 moment of silence much longer than a moment. is it logistical issues backstage … or was he just that awesome? you decide …
TravelTweet Michael Jackson Memorial Service about to start (after very long silence) live on half of the tv stations around the world.
Program resumes with gospel performance and presentation of Jackson’s casket:
Pastor Smith delivers eulogy:
