Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television. |
|
  |
CANADA - Fans of Doctor Who on BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ , take note. Beginning Saturday, 6 July, the weekend omnibus Doctor Who broadcast times will change slightly. Stories will still air at 3:30PM Saturdays and Sundays, but the repeats will move to 10:30PM instead of 10PM. Weekday airing times remain unaffected. |
  |
South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they airing? And starting 7 July, Doctor Who will also air Sunday mornings, bringing it to 3 weekly broadcasts. |
 |
USA - A couple of weeks ago, Dish Network began giving some of its receivers the ability to display local TV channels on their local channel numbers. Most Dish Network subscribers are still getting their local channels in the 8000 block. We are listing both channel numbers now, like we do for DirecTV. |
  |
AUSTRALIA - Jason Fraser, administrator of the Varos Doctor Who website in Australia, has redesigned it a bit. The new website is at http://www.varos.net/drwho . His site now has a complete history of UKTV's Doctor Who broadcasts from 1996 to the present. Coming soon is a complete broadcast history of Doctor Who on Australian Television from the 1960s on. There is still a mirror of my column on the site. |
