Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 9th October 1998:
KTEH San Jose, California - channel 54
Sunday night at 11PM - Vengeance on Varos - 4 episode version
Sunday night at 12:40AM - "Evening With Peter Davison" - lecture tour type thing

The 6th Doctor and Peri go to Varos in search of a precious item needed to power the TARDIS. They wind up on Television. After the Vengeance, watch Peter Davison in a hard to categorize special. It seems that in KTEH's commendable zeal to give viewers the episodic format stories, they wound up with the 23 minute episode versions of the 22nd season instead of the original 45 minute broadcasts. My source at the station is trying to make sure they get the original versions the next time they cycle through the 6th Doctor.
