NASA Select comes on as needed. In the past few months they've been showning
stuff several times a week: press conferences, some space sickness studies,
sims, the rollout, SRB tests, etc. Whenever a "major" event happens, 
NASA select will probably cover it.

Concerning the mission at hand, STS-26, you can get a mission TV 
schedule from "COMSTORE", the NASA select BBS. It is at (713) 483-5817,
1200 baud.
