This was actually done on the "remastered" version: they took the credits and used John Williams' soundtrack music to get rid of the announcer. I didn't even notice it right away; it was done pretty well. However, I don't think it was exactly the same recording, so it's not the most accurate representation. A better trick would be to take one of the international versions from France, Sweden, or Australia and use the audio from the credits there, where there is no CBS announcer present.

As far as covering up the network logo goes: this could be done, if someone really thought it was worth the trouble. I can live with the logo, myself.
