Better for B5, though, in that TNT has a lot more coverage,
more cable stations, and more PR than the SciFi channel. More folks
will be able to hear about it and see it on TNT. (I should mention
that TNT is *very* excited about the show, as much as we're exited to
be going there after the first run is over, and they're planning to
give it a regular time slot and a lot of publicity.)

No, the TNT situation doesn't really impact the PTEN decision
overall, though certainly I expect they'd like to get at least 88
episodes out of it.

The broadcast stations which are a part of PTEN feel that if it
aired now on TNT as well it'd be competition that would dilute their
ratings.

We hope to do videos in the fullness of time. Don't worry;
when it happens, you won't have to ask, the info will be everywhere.
