Well, they certainly don't provide continuous coverage. I found that they covered the launch much better than the big 3, and on the last mission, they provided very good coverage of the "flyswatter" attempt to activate the Leasat (was that what it was...how soon we forget!) In addition, they have a greater tendency to let us hear mission control rather than grandstanding themselves. In summary, CNN coverage is far superior to the big 3, but by no means continuous. In addition, you can usually find out SOMETHING about the flight every hour or so (half-hour on CNN Headline news). Burns
