>to see the progress of their efforts

yeah but they're not making much progress, so what's the point? It's like watching paint dry.

As of today, they've moved the ship off the bank

I'm not sure what your point is. Sure, it'll be interesting to watch, but the bar for a new organization to a crew to gather live footage is far higher than "some people would find it vaguely interesting".

I'm pretty sure some random Egyptian could monetize their live footage on YouTube... and also, I would like to see it.

I don't understand why it needs to be a news organization streaming it... Is it how that country works? (IE: Do they block anyone else from publishing data about this event, a bit like what China would do?)

Yes, just like any other Middle Eastern country.

You can't really get live video of the ship from a satellite. But commercial imaging satellites pass overhead every few hours so you can stitch those together in a time lapse, although the resolution will be too low to see details of the salvage operation.
