Other sites/sources discussing this say more cast members may be added to the panel besides those already named.

Hope Martin Sheen, Alison and Rob Lowe are added.

The ATX Fest Tweeted today (I'll have to get the link to the Tweet & add it later) that the TWW panel has apparently been moved from Saturday to Friday, because of other scheduling changes. I know they had an Everybody Loves Raymond cast reunion-type panel scheduled, & that was scrapped after the recent death of actress Doris Roberts, who played Ray's Mom in the show.

It was announced yesterday (Wednesday) that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell (who, among other--mostly offscreen--connections to TWW, played Jed's father in the S2 ep Two Cathedrals) will moderate the ATX Festival's The West Wing panel. And Melissa Fitzgerald, who played Carol, CJ's Assistant when she was Press Secretary, has been added to the panel.

Lots of info online regarding TWW cast reunion at ATX TV fest!  This site seems to have the most info, but there are many photos at other sites if you google it.

I'm going to post this in the WWW podcast thread also as this was the best thing I've read all day!

Sorkin is not known for brevity, as he pointed out, and the panel ran almost two hours. Malina said ATX TV Fest folks agreed to let him use the audio for an episode of his “West Wing Weekly” podcast.

Also, this tweet from Janel Moloney:

The ATX Festival Tweeted on Saturday (or whenever the 11th was) that they'd be posting the videos of the different ATX Festival panels on YouTube beginning next month, & throughout the year. So there apparently will eventually be a video posted of the TWW reunion panel, & hopefully it'll be the whole thing.

According to this Tweet, the video of the TWW reunion panel at the recent ATX Festival, in Austin, Texas, has now been posted online. I believe it's posted at the https site linked to in the Tweet, & NOT at YouTube.

Apologies for the late notice--at least to those in the Eastern & Central Time Zones... Hopefully most will still see this in time.

The ATX Festival Tweeted earlier today (Tuesday) that the Today show will air exclusive interviews, in the 8AM hour (8AM your local time) tomorrow (Wednesday), with the TWW cast which were done at the recent ATX Festival. If you miss the segment, I would check the Today show website later; I would think it might be posted there afterwards.
