I believe Motortrend TV will be covering it.  Not sure if the coverage is flag to flag, but they will be covering it.  Apparently there is a NASCAR Camaro racing in the event as well.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Also/FWIW - the Simeone Museum (in Philly) is going all out to celebrate this 100th Anniversary, with around 30 hours  :o of non-stop activities and demonstrations. They plan to run more than 36 cars during the course of the 2 days...
They've been teasing us with night photos of some cars running for weeks.
Blurb from the website:
"Celebrate 100 years of the world's greatest and most celebrated endurance road race with the Simeone Museum's "24 Heures Du Simeone special event.  This 24 hour+ jam-packed program will feature 36+ legendary sports racing cars from our collection and will include driving demonstrations, film showings, surprise guests, and photo opportunities that will bring you back in time to some of the greatest Le Mans stories up close..."
The Museum set up a special website just for this event:
