How are you going to watch the Carlsen-Nepo match?

I wonder, what's the best way to follow the match, with good live comment and video? TV or streaming channels, where, and what do you prefer?
Probably on Lichess Broadcast and with a real board besides my computer. I personally don't like live comments as much but I'm sure Lichess will put links to streamers on its main page so everyone can find the commenter he likes most.
If Chess24 are going to have Gustaffson and Svidler as a team, probably with them. They'll get a months Twitch sub from me, as I don't take without contributing. I don't like their board graphics much at all, but their banter can be priceless.

Most certainly i wont be following it live. Probably will check later with Agadmator or Levi, or both.

I Dont even recall which was the last match i saw live, but the caster was obnoxious and disrespectful to cast members and both players, and half of the chat almost got banned for calling him out. I dont remember who he was, but i wouldnt like that kind of distraction from the game. A caster wanting the spotlight, come on.

I don't think Svidler or Gustaffson are commentating, which is interesting in itself. I was looking forward to Leko but he acknowledged that he's working with Nepo. Chess24 is going to have Giri and Polgar, which might be good, and Maurice Ashley is working with NBC, so I'm not sure if St Louis is doing anything. I'm leaning toward the FIDE commentary with Miro and Anand, but I'll be looking out for any independent coverage by strong players.
