Journalists League had rounded up the last of those reprobates!  Sounds like 
it's time to saddle up, again...

Indeed it was, as confirmed by this gem.

I notice that PBS has now changed the name of their "World" sub-channel to 
"Global Connect".  And they've added some NHK SUMO programs! (I think there's a 
"Sumopedia", for instance).  Was NHK the network that WNN was associated with?  
I wonder if any personnel from the WNN era are still there....
