Where can we watch the new Congress be sworn in? CSPANs listing doesn't have Public Affairs Programing listed

If I'm not wrong, the Senators will swear in today (not in the Senate floor but privately with Vice President Biden) and the first Senate season is on January 6 (the Senators will take Oath of Office. Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvytArhsTiQ ).

They're doing it Tuesday, I think? The new public law makes the ceremonial swearing in Tuesday? I know, constitutionally, the Republican majority is in power. But ceremonially, it's Tuesday that will be the first day of the session.

CSPAN will cover it. It may not be listed yet, but it will be covered.

CSPAN always covers it; you can also watch the live floor feed from the chambers' websites - http://houselive.gov/ and http://www.senate.gov/floor/index.htm

And just to clarify, the Constitution of course mandates that the new term begins on January 3rd, but the first session of the 114th Congress doesn't open until Tuesday - therefore no business of the new Congress has been transacted, and no Representative-elect or Senator-elect has taken their oath.
