Not sure about TV coverage (I'd assume yes) but SpaceX will be streaming it like all other launches they do.

Yeah I noticed they didn't update that second one, but a few big Astro dudes put it out there. So hopefully it is still 2:20.

That's pushing up against the end of their launch window, so if it doesn't happen then they'll need to shut it down for the day. I've heard they've got a window tomorrow as well.

If you want something to listen to while waiting, Everyday Astronaut is doing a live stream from 3 miles away. (Awful video but audio works).
