Slim to none, I'd say.  Today it is a triumph to fans if B5 is picked
up for syndication.  AFAIK it's not even being shown anywhere in the
US right now.

Star Trek simply has a much, much larger fan base from which to draw
revenue, and decades of evidence showing they are happy to spend more
and more money on new releases.  I am sure all of us here would be
happy to spend money on a set of B5 remaster BD, but I doubt there are
enough of us to warrant the work.

Those TNG Blu rays are really good, BTW.
