Wow, it's been a while since Apple has offered a live stream of an event, or even a video or streaming link prior to the event itself. Nevertheless, here it is: Apple's official It's Showtime event page, which looks like it will offer a 'video-on-demand' of the event, though the word 'live' isn't explicitly used.
Either way, stay tuned to TUAW and our sister blog Engadget for live coverage, especially since Apple's event streaming has been known to get a tad flaky during and right afterwards (with all this PR and hype, can you blame them?). Don't worry though, we've got you covered.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in

"Live Broadcast - Paused".
bit of an oxymoron, bit like "Microsoft Works". everyone's heard that one, i know.
ooh, excited... but i doubt we'll get all we want/deserve, from TUAW's listings it would appear Apple will announce more than they do in an average MacWorld in a 1 hour event. weeeeee! 25mins to go.

If you click on the button, a quicktime window comes up that says "Live Broadcast" (but then loads and says "not found"...for now :)

Apple's official website is hosted by Digg? How's that?

#4: Woops! Thanks for the catch. The 'Read' link at the bottom still worked properly.

Nowhere on there does it say "live". There is a HUGE difference between "live" and "on demand" which I thought TUAW might have known but obviously not.
This thing isn't linked from Apple.com anywhere either which is a big red flag. It's likely just a placeholder.

*Wets self*
I'm seriously excited about this. Seems that we'll see quite a few new things. Should be better than the huge disappointment that was WWDC.

Take careful note of the thin silver border around the "It's showtime" graphic... could it be we're actually looking at the 6G iPod without realising it?

Well, at least we know where all that recently-purchased bandwidth went.
