KTVI (Channel 2), KMOV (Channel 4) and KSDK (Channel 5) and the NHL Network also are planning to televise the festivities. KMOX (1120 AM) and WXOS (101.1 FM) have radio coverage.

What happens to U.S. Open coverage? Channel 2 was to be carrying the U.S. Open, one of golf's major tournaments, at the time of Saturday's parade. So it will show Fox's coverage of that event from 11 a.m. until noon, then move the Open to sister station KPLR (Channel 11) to carry the hockey hoopla. Channel 2 will return to golf at about 3 p.m.

Our earlier story on the parade:

The parade to honor the champion St. Louis Blues is set for noon Saturday, on what could be a soggy day.

The parade will start at 18th and Market streets and end at Broadway and Market Street. A rally will follow at the Gateway Arch, according to information released by the St. Louis Blues on Twitter.

The parade will be televised live on KTVI (Channel 2), KMOV (Channel 4), KSDK (Channel 5) and Fox Sports Midwest.

Within minutes of the official parade announcement Thursday morning, workers descended on the Arch grounds to start preparations for the rally, laying down interlocking flooring for a stage area.
