The Public Channel is carried by a wide number of satellite and cable companies, and offers live and recorded coverage of missions and events, along with documentaries and material from NASA's archives. The Media Channel is, unsurprisingly, focused on providing media organizations with audio and video material, including mission coverage and news conferences. There's currently no word from NASA on when schools can expect to benefit from a high-def version of the Education Channel. The newly announced changes will come into effect on February 17th.
