This is not true.  At the U. of Md. library, we were receiving NASA's own
video transmission (which some people may have seen on cable).  What they
did for hours was simply to repeat a short announcement, then show that very
same videotape over again.  Every two and a half minutes, for hours.  Of
course, they didn't have Dan Rather eagerly pointing out the details.  This
is the one time I really missed Walter Cronkite at a launch.
