A few months ago, I asked for info about cable TV companies who were 
carrying NASA feeds during shuttle missions.  Thanks to all who responded.

I just got a call from my local cable company (to be--they haven't finished
installing all the stuff) representative.  She said she had just gotten my
letter to them (sent on August 11!).  She said that they carried a taped 
P.R. program that NASA distributes, but that they were unaware that there
were feeds during missions.  She thought it was a great idea, and she will
pursue the issue.

Moral of the story:  It is worth writing to your local company.  They don't
know about everything that is flying by on the downlinks, and they may 
even be interested.

I will post any further noteworthy developments.

Burns
