The old horses? ABC, NBC and CBS?
The cable news channels? MSNBC, CNN, Fox News?
The internet?
Just social media? Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
Some where else?
Obviously I aimed this at Americans in the US, but please chime in on your own country's channels.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I heard about it on CBC radio the morning after the big announcement.
It was the lead story on the hourly news update on that particular radio station.

I like Celine Dion myself. Her ballads alone....they make me go all teary-eyed and shit.

One of my friends posted on facebook that the Obama was going to make a statement later on. I turned it to CNN and watched the whole thing go down.

Heard it first on Facebook. The only source for reliable news.

It was announced while a Phillies game was on, ESPN I believe had the game that night. I confirmed via BBC.
