Yeah, that's the term! Unfortunately, our local B5 station (CFTO, part
of
the Baton Broadcasting System, hack, spit) has decided not to carry B5
next
season. Their excuse is that Warner was too slow in announcing the 4th
season and all the money's gone. Rumour has it that their program
director
doesn't particularly like the show and got tired of the flack they
received
when they started bouncing the show around. There's a grass roots
campaign
to get a local independant to get the show. If that doesn't work, I'm
going
to shell out the bucks for a US pay TV station that carries it. Oh,
well,
it's only two more years...
