   Well considering the major flub a couple of years back with their late
start of the coverage of Princess Diana's death,I'm not surprised that CBS
is pulling out all the stops to cover major news stories.

  I was awake about 7AM and checking out what was on TV for coverage at
that time,Ch 4 was not carrying CBS,but CNN's feed.Ch 5 was carrying ABC's
feed.Both 4 & 5 had no local anchors or reporters on the air at that
time.Ch 7 had Randy Price and Kim Carrigan anchoring,with Sean Hennessey at
their "Satellite Center" providing updates.Ch 7 did rejoin NBC's coverage
till 7:30,when they broke away to broadcast the Sunday Mass.New England
Cable News had R.D.Sahl and Margie Reedy holding down the fort there.
