Summary: 

Being a classoc night person, i woke up a little late for the last
launch; i turned on the TV at 5:44 PDT, only to see the parting logo
from ABC's coverage. NBC and CBS had already turned to their regular
broadcasts.

Later that day i learned that the launc had been postponed from its
scheduled 5:35 launch by 7 minutes.  According to my calculations, the
launch occured at 5:42 . From this i conclude that not one of the
networks gave more than 2 minutes of air time to the flight once the
engines started!  What's going on with those guys?
