There is usually a daily 'highlights' transmitted on F2/13around 8pm EDT or so
for each flight day. The length and time varies, but if you are taping these
are usually worth finding. I suspect that this is what get replayed on S1/18.

You can find the mission TV schedule on the NASA Spacelink BBS.

BTW, I noticed that F2/05 was carrying some odd frame sequential multiplexed
video before the STS-41 launch. In real time, it looked like two images
superimposed but when taped and played back in slo-mo there appeared to be
field from one source followed by two fields from another. These were regular
NTSC frames, not the wideband frame sequential color format sometimes used for
the wideband TDRSS video.
