Let me add the professional broadcasters opinion. In fact, I said it very early in the thread.
The "examination" footage is undoubtedly the first tape the Army released. Many would argue that it is a not so veiled insult to see this brutal dictator being "inspected" by his captors.
When that had been used to death, the Army probably released the night scope footage of the actual raid. The cynic in me finds it easy to believe that this was a purposful thing on behalf of our side. Subtle, but effective I think.
As for "selling" ad time, that's wishful thinking. Commercials aren't added on the spur of the moment. Those shows are formatted for a certain number of spots per hour. The footage is really of more promotional value than sales. We're just not efficient enough to get commercials ordered, delivered, dubbed (copied), logged and aired that quickly. Unfortunately.
