Sharpton, Jackson arrive; local TV begins live coverage

INSIDE JAMES BROWN ARENA -- The Rev. Al Sharpton, James Brown's long-time friend, has arrived at the civic center, along with the Rev. Jesse Jackson for Mr. Brown's "homegoing service."

Meanwhile, the local TV stations have begun their special broadcasts from the arena. Each are playing retrospectives on Mr. Brown. WAGT-TV had a live feed from outside on the Seventh Sreet plaza; WRDW-TV turned on the cameras inside the civic center and showed the pastors escorted up the aisles.
