Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 25th September 1998:
WQED 13 / WQEX 16 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will air episode 1 of 2 of The Sontaran Experiment, the shortest of all the 4th Doctor stories. The Doctor, Sarah, and Harry travel from Space Station Nerva to Earth to see if it's ready for human habitation. A slight problem: it's already inhabited, sort of. Tune in Saturday night at 10:30PM.
