Our local station, here in Madison, WI, is currently negotiating with
Lionheart.  Price quoted is $45,000.00.  This includes Hartnell/Troughton/
Colin Baker.  They say it will carry Dr Who through Feb 1991.  So, they must
be asking for the complete package, as the Tom Baker stuff has run out.
I haven't called to find out for sure, but it is still a lot of money.
