The networks are cutting back on their coverage of the shuttle, especially
CBS.  CBS will go live at Cape Canaveral at 10:56 AM Sunday -- just 4
minutes before lift-off, and stay on till 11:10.  Their landing coverage
will be 12:05 PM through 12:15 PM on Sunday, July 4.  ABC is doing somewhat
better; they'll have lift-off coverage from 10:30 through 11:30, and
landing coverage from noon until 12:30 as part of "This Week with David
Brinkley".  And NBC will be on from 10 AM till 11:30 AM for the lift-off,
and has indicated that they will give the landing similar attention.  Even
Cable News Network -- which has payed a lot of attention in the past -- will
be cutting back.
