Think Eurosport will be covering a fair bit of it. Not sure about full 24 hours coverage though. Although you should be able to listen to the race in between Eurosport coverage via the Radio LeMans website.

ETA: RLM link for live radio coverage:

http://rlm08.0157.org/#

P.S. the main website address doesn't have a WWW, it is:

http://radiolemans.com/

Full 24 hours live on Europsort - You'll need Sky or Virgin though. No doubt you'll be able to get a hooky feed over the web, there were a few last year. JustinTV may be worth a punt. If you search there was a thread last year linking the sites that streamed it.

Failing that, live audio on radiolemans.com. You should listen to this anyway as it's heaps better than the tv commentary.

If neither of those work, you could hang around for highlights on ITV. Or cobble to together an old analogue satelite system and view eurosport for free, although you only get one of the channels so wont see the full 24hours.

Fill yer boots.

In 2006 I couldn't go to Le Mans due to an important family event. I don't have cable or sky, so I have no facilities to watch the race on TV, or so I thought. PHers, always good at coming to the rescue, came up with this:

http://video.eurosport.fr/automoto/qualifs-des-24-...

It is an internet streamed video link to Eurosport France. So I got to the site, muted the sound and tuned in on the net to Radio Le Mans, and hey presto: sound and pics for the whole 24 on my laptop! It was pretty robust too.

For 2007 and 2008 I did go to Le Mans and used the same procedure to watch and listen in to the quali sessions from the UK. I am going to Le Mans this year but I plan to use the same set up for this year's quali session, assuming the video link works of course.
