And right now, they're showing "Mawdryn Undead".  (They showed "Snakedance"
before "Arc of Infinity".)

Well, looks like I've been put on the spot, haven't I?
All I know is that they want them "as soon as they are available" (i.e. now),
but I'm not sure when they are going to air them.  My hope is that they'll
start with them right after "Logopolis".  (Right now, WNED is showing "Full
Circle"; they show the Doctor at 6 pm Monday - Friday.)

As a sidenote:  WNED was the first to purchase "Blake's 7", but will be one of
the last to air it.

I should find out more this weekend, at the Buffalo Who Convention.
As I find out more, I'll let you all know.
