Most any reciever can do this, its rare to see ones of even decent quality not be able to do this.
In menu on reciever you have to tell it what audio and video inputs go together for any given situation. So you could choose CDas audio and select video 1 (or whatever video your cable/sat is into) for your video source when you listen to CD. You may need to run analog RCA for that but 2 channel is most often what we use for music anyway.
Another way to get around HDMI is to run toslink or coax digital aswell so you can seperate the 2 audio feeds. Then as noted above when you tell the unit how you want it configured you would say video would be "X" (HDMI 1 for example) while audio signal is "Y" (optical 2 for example or coax 3). Very easy to do.
For example though its a pricey one, you can do this with Anthem D2V processor, but I have doen it with Onkyo, ROtel, Lexicon, Yamaha and Sony units because like you I watch sports or news scroll at times while music is coming through speakers. Cheers
