Nothing much, it'll show the thing blasting off and that'll be it! No BBC World I'm afraid but I like the fact you hoped!

Cheers, Asa

Its an actual programme made by Astra and its not brilliant but it shows the launch, displays some graphics and commentates on whats happening, so it serves its purpose.

Is it available for viewing on the web as I heard or is it just a satellite programme?

I see it was Reuters Television Moscow who provided the sattellite link. The graphics were very dull but they served their purpose.
