"watch a live broadcast as New Horizon begins its closest approach of Pluto and comes within 7,800 miles of the planet's surface." This sound exciting to me. Wow live broadcasts.

I have been hoping to see live broadcasts from Curiosity, the Mars Rover, but I haven't found them. Does anyone know if there are live broadcasts to the public from Mars and if there aren't any . . . why not? Thanks
