That would be one of the many satellite channels CBS uses to send to events 
or programs. (For example, Channel 39 is used for :31 updates, special 
reports and newscalls at :35).  CBS will usually send down an identifier 
loop so the stations know they punched up the proper channel.  Sounds like 
someone brought up a router by mistake and it got to the air.
