((([^\(0-9]+)))([ ])+([\(\)]{1})([0-9]+[a-z]?)([\(\)]{1})(\.)([ ])+([^\.\?]+)(\.)([ ])+([^0-9]+)([ ])+([A-Z]?[0-9]+[A-Z]?)(\:)([A-Z]*[0-9\,]+[A-Z]*)([\-–—]+)([A-Z]*[0-9\,]+[A-Z]*)(\.)

Match Pattern Explanation:

VB.NET Code Example:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    Dim sourcestring as String = "replace with your source string"
    Dim re As Regex = New Regex("((([^\(0-9]+)))([ ])+([\(\)]{1})([0-9]+[a-z]?)([\(\)]{1})(\.)([ ])+([^\.\?]+)(\.)([ ])+([^0-9]+)([ ])+([A-Z]?[0-9]+[A-Z]?)(\:)([A-Z]*[0-9\,]+[A-Z]*)([\-–—]+)([A-Z]*[0-9\,]+[A-Z]*)(\.)")
    Dim m As Match = re.Match(sourcestring)
    For groupIdx As Integer = 0 To m.Groups.Count - 1
      Console.WriteLine("[{0}] = {1}", re.GetGroupNames(groupIdx), m.Groups(groupIdx).Value)
    Next
  End Sub
End Module
