An Apple Special Event channel appeared on users' Apple TV set-top boxes on Tuesday as well as the company's website, indicating that the company plans to offer a live stream of the day's keynote, where it is expected to unveil new iPads and other products.

"Watch the special event held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, CA," the event listing reads, noting that the presentation will kick off at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Updated: Users can access the live feed by choosing the "Apple Events" channel on the Apple TV home screen. The stream is also available on a Mac via Apple's official Events website.
Apple has streamed other events in the past, but opted not to offer a live feed of September's iPhone unveiling.
AppleInsider will also be onhand at today's event, providing full, live coverage of the proceedings, including hands-on impressions and pictures with any devices made available. Expected to be unveiled are a new second-generation iPad mini with Retina display, a redesigned fifth-generation iPad, details on the release date for OS X Mavericks, and new Macs.

I wonder if we'll get pre-orders for the iPad? Also doesn't the Apple store usually go down the day of an event?

Think they usually go down an hour or 2 before the start of an event in the event of new products/refreshes.
My hope today is we see a retina mini and something new/different with the smart covers. Touch id and 4K Cinema Display would be bonuses.
Hope this option isn't region-specific. I am at work right now so cannot check if the channel is there on my Apple TV. Hope my Internet holds properly as well - this will be the first time I try to stream a live event!
