[sumo] [Sumo on TV] Western NY/Toronto area SUMO EAST AND WEST info

["The Zubans" <snabuz@sympatico.ca>]

For those of you in western NY state, Toronto and areas receiving the PBS
station WNED in Buffalo, I've expressed interest to them to show Independent
Lens' SUMO EAST AND WEST.  Their reply follows my query.  Perhaps if others
express interest as well, it may help to get it shown in our neck of the
woods.  Here's hoping!
