These Vremya broadcasts were prepared at the RAND/UCLA Center for Soviet
Studies, which has its own ground station to track the Molniya satellites.
They reformat to NTSC, which includes demodulating the sound-in-syncs
audio.  The program was translated and subtitles included.  The rebroadcast
was at 6pm PST which is just 8 hours after the original 9 pm broadcast in
Moscow.  The KSCI rebroadcast was also a two week experiment.  They solicited
letters from viewers and are now seeking sponsorship.
