Who produced the the pool feed from the cathedral? (They've also had OBs from outside the Capitol building and Joint Base Andrews).

I believe it was an ABC director directing the pool of the main service.

From what I heard from a CNN engineer CNN was the pool chair - coordinating everything but not putting out a clean feed. ABC covered the cathedral, NBC Capitol Hill, CBS the motorcade and departure and Fox in Texas.

However I’m pretty sure someone somewhere was cutting a feed and uplinking that - maybe DVIDs. I saw videos on social media from NBC Philadelphia where they were taking questions on legalizing marijuana questions in PA and NJ. In the background the channels all cut at the same time.

But maybe it was coincidence. As it was pooled everything was public.
