ABC has exclusive broadcast rights.

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and Bow Wow are on tap for the Kids' Inaugural event the night before. It doesn't hurt that the Disney Channel has the exclusive on coverage of that event, which also boasts of Billy Ray Cyrus, Usher Raymond IV and Keke Palmer. Perry Rubin, the 13-year-old daughter of entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, will be a special backstage correspondent.

Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss.White Cherry Entertainment are producing the Neighborhood Inaugural, and Greg Sills is producing the Kids' Inaugural with Louis J. Horvitz directing.

Kirschner, by the way, is exec producer of all TV events for the Presidential Inaugural Committee. He produced this year's Democratic National Convention.
