Welcome to the weekly guide to known Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide.

Jon Pertwee fans can listen to his Doctor Who radio stories "The
Paradise Of Death" and "The Ghosts Of N-Space" over the next 2 weeks
via BBC7. BBC7 is now archiving programming for up to one week for
fans with Realplayer on their computers. The station can be heard
live online if you have Realplayer or Windows Media Player. And in
the UK it's on digital TV and digital radio.

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org will skip Day of the Daleks in June, making it the first time MPT has skipped a story during the Terry Nation/Dalek rights renewal issue. Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks, Remembrance of the Daleks, and The War Games did air during this period, so presumably they had a better contract that has now expired. The Hartnell Dalek appearances were not affected.

KBTC Tacoma, WA http://www.kbtc.org and WCET Cincinnati, OH http://www.cetconnect.org will be skipping The War Games in their current rotation of Troughton stories, while KBDI Denver, CO http://www.kbdi.org will have to skip Day of the Daleks. The ABC in Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv previously announced that they would have to skip Day of the Daleks when they reach that point of the series in June.

Sky One will air Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150A.D. early morning 1
June.

Upcoming airings of Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150A.D. on Showtime
Greats in Australia:
All airings Australian Eastern Standard Time:
Early Saturday 22 May - 5:25AM

The American Who radio show, covering Doctor Who news and interviews
