Just to clarify this...yes, somebody posted that to the official WB
site...but it wasn't anybody in *ANY* way associated with Warner Bros. or
any of the stations.

I've been saying for months now that PTEN seemed to be fading, and that we
would eventually end up in direct syndication. This is months-old news.
I can only assume that somebody here is getting his info wrong or is
deliberately distorting it.

We have not -- repeat, NOT -- been canceled. For starters, the meeting at
which that decision will be made won't be held until the end of April,
first part of May. The decision *cannot be made* until the execs finally
meet to assess everything at that time. So any messages before then
should be dismissed.

Also, be sensible, look around...WB is spending a large amount of money,
well over a quarter million dollars, buying radio spots, and TV spots, and
the covers of newspaper TV magazines in over 80 major cities to promote
the coming batch of episodes. Many TV stations are announcing that
they're returning to airing the show twice a week now. WB is doing its
contest for B5. If we were canceled, this would all stop *instantly*.
But it's all going ahead.

And, finally, no one's said boo to us about it. The day Kung Fu was
dropped, they were notified within 24 hours. You *have* to be notified at
that point to make various financial arrangements, deal with sets, return
any deficits, and so on. And again, no one has said anything of that sort
to us.

Have there been ups and downs? Of course. The syndicated TV market has
all but imploded over the last 2 years, thanks to WBN, UPN and Fox
swallowing up almost all the available time slots on indie stations. But
we're still here....
