I am sure of to things - the cameraman is enjoying every moment of that thinking 'if only I could be recording this' and that no recordings of individual cameras are allowed (if possible at all) - I'm thinking globally now - something somewhere would have surfaced by now...

Oh, the networks are recording different camera's feeds all the time. And there's plenty of proof--
Think about when a blooper happens live on air, like just several weeks ago when Brian Kilmeade hit the toddler
with the basketball... When they went to play it back and tease him about it, there were other angles that weren't
seen originally as it happened live. Or like at most sports events, when instant replay is used, you see all those other
angles that you didn't the first time...because raw feeds from all those other cams are constantly being recorded.
BTW -- the cameramen aren't the ones doing or not doing the recording anyway, they're just holding "dumb" running
cameras, then the signal's fed to the control booth/room, and that's where the recording is controlled, just like the
switching of shots.
Like I said above -- It's almost guaranteed there are "R-rated" clips in the archives from those feeds, but the only way to
see them is to be on the production crew, be a network bigwig, or maybe on air talent themselves.
