Didn't this also happen during Clintons trial?

Oh, yes, it was. I remembered correctly.

This isn't really that unusual, then.

The impeachment of a US president has reached the senate exactly three times, one of which happened nearly a century before the concept of televising the trial was even an option. This really hasn't happened enough times for there to be a "usual." A single instance of doing it one way (particularly when doing it that way can very rightly be criticized) isn't exactly strong precedent.
