CBS also came in at 5 minutes.  Considering NASA had held the clock
at 5 minutes, I don't see why any of the networks would have bothered
to cover before 5min.  CBS also broke away at about 3min to cover Ollie

lots of pretty pictures of the shuttle on the pad when NASA was running
the clock from 9min to 5min.
