THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - November 6, 2002 by Benjamin F. Elliott Vol 5, No 45 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://www.topica.com/lists/twidwtalk thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com twidwtalk-subscribe@... |

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts around the world. |
|
Some extra airings of the Doctor Who TV Movie have popped up in December. |
|
  |
Sci-Fi Channel (South Africa) http://www.uk.scifi.com/ airings of the 1996 Doctor Who Movie: Fri 27 December 6:30-8PM CAT Sun 29 December 1:20-2:50PM CAT Tue 31 December 5-6:30PM CAT |
|
Sci-Fi Channel (UK) http://www.uk.scifi.com/ airing of the 1996 Doctor Who Movie: Thu 26 December 8-9:40PM GMT |
 |
Sci-Fi Channel (US) http://www.scifi.com/ airing of the 1996 Doctor Who Movie: EAST & SATELLITE FEED - Late Sun December 15 3-5AM EST WEST FEED - Late Sun December 15 3-5AM PST |
 |
KBTC/KCKA/K65BU 28,15,65 Tacoma/Centralia/Gray's River, WA http://www.kbtc.org/ will have its semi-annual Doctor Who pledge drive on December 7th to help raise money for Doctor Who and other sci-fi shows. This time they'll be toasting the Daleks with The Dalek Invasion of Earth as the main feature. Their pledge goal is $15,000, though they're willing to accept more. |
 |
Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ has announced plans to have a special pledge night for its sci-fi programming on December 7th. Only the sci-fi programming will be pledged. Red Dwarf is already renewed for 2003-2004. In an interesting twist, they are handling other sci-fi shows (including Doctor Who) the way the show Survivor handles contestants. When people pledge on December 7th, they'll be asked to vote for a sci-fi program (Doctor Who, The Prisoner, sci-fi movies). Be warned. You are voting for the show that you want IPTV not to air in 2003-2004. More details at the fan site http://www.sffn.com/ . |
 |
KTEH/KCAH 54,25 San Jose/Watsonville, CA http://www.kteh.org/ is having its own prime-time Doctor Who night on Sunday, November 24th, with selected Tom Baker episodes. If more Doctor Who pledge drives pop up in the next few weeks, TWIDW will keep you apprised of them. |
 |
WCNY 24 Syracuse, NY http://www.wcny.org/ is indicating through the schedules on their website that their digital channel WCNY-DT 25 is now on the air, although they do not explicitly say that it is on the air. WYBE-DT 34 Philadelphia, PA may be going on the air November 15th, as that is the current date for a "digital launch" ceremony at WYBE. Full power non-commercial stations in the US are currently required to get their digital stations on the air by May 1, 2003. At the present time, all of the stations in the US airing Doctor Who (apart from Sci-Fi with the 1996 Movie) are non-commercial. |

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP. |

WBYU AM1450 in New Orleans has been listed as a channel for the show in the past, but with the format flip to Radio Disney earlier this week it is unlikely that the show is still airing there.
