Instead of going up stream why not make a lateral move and go back into first
run syndication. WB seemed supportive of the show so why not go back to where
B5 started out?

Because the syndication market today is not the syndication market that existed
6+ years ago...UPN and Fox and Tribune have snapped up nearly all of the
available stations, and it's extremely hard to get a berth in what's left
without giving up financial aspects that WB won't give up on any of its shows.
