In Portland, OR (Rogers Cable TV) there were two channels that had pure NASA feeds (NASA Select?). These were a local cable access channel and (more importantly) CSPAN-II, one of the congressional channels. I know that the local channel was set to start the NASA feeds at 12:30 am pacific time. I don't know when CSPAN-II started their coverage, but there was NO ancher person overdubbing, other than the official NASA lady (which you would get even if you had a direct downlink from NASA Select. Check to see if your local cable has CSPAN-II (I watched it over the local channel because the local had a jumpy picture).
