THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - March 31, 2000

Yet another short edition. Normal service to return next week. KSPS 7 Spokane, Washington actually did air a Doctor Who story last weekend, (Battlefield). Apologies to anyone affected by last week's inaccurate information. After they finish airing Sylvester McCoy's stories, special Doctor Who shows will air for a few weeks.

KTCA St. Paul, MN will begin rerunning its weekly Who episode at 5:30AM Sunday mornings in early May, as it goes to a 24 hour broadcast day.

Sceneone.co.uk is now listing "UK Gold 2" and "UK Gold Classic" as separate stations, although they are currently airing the same programming and the names have been used interchangeably to refer to the same digital station for some time.

Almost all of the US and Canada are entering Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, April 2.

Additions and corrections are welcome at bfelli...@gallifreyone.com . And now, the listings:
