Something terrible has happened to one of my favorite uses of the Amiga. Without warning, the Philadelphia area station (17) which carried Babylon 5 every Wednesday night has stopped — now it is some WB (Warner Brothers?) thing. I just tuned in for my weekly fix and came up empty!!! Does anyone have any idea where else I can watch B5 in the Philly area?

Dale, I'm in Norfolk, Va. You missed a good episode, I just got done watching it. I don't know about Philly but here it is on WGNT. You might see if it is picked up on the UPN (United Paramount Network) when they come online the 16th of January. Wish you the best luck. Greg Jensen :-{) on Autopilot v1.74

I might have to subscribe to cable if the don't upgrade the transmitter on Philly 57 before they start broadcasting Voyager. I guess it'd be nice to have B5 on the same channel. On the other hand, maybe it is time for a 2' dish.

Dale, Have you checked in the SFMEDIA forum. At one time I remember seeing a channel list posted in the B5 library. MOS via Autopilot & Amiga

Thanks for the tip.

That's really strange that a Warner station is not showing B5, since it is a Warner show. -R

For all I know its Wayans Brothers (which was the first show on in the block of new shows starting in B5's timeslot). But the WB displayed prominently looked a lot like Warner Brothers.

That's wierd, we don't get B5 on our WB station either, we get it on an independent…

Dale, If it helps, two stations that carry B5 in my area has moved the show to Friday nights 8pm.

It got moved to Thursdays here. Premature panic and overreaction. I'm hooked.

-> It got moved to Thursdays here. Premature panic and overreaction. Perfectly understandable.

-> now, when are they going to get out of reruns? That's easy. B5 will show new episodes next month. February is a rating "sweeps" month.
