BBC Worldwide issued a press release confirming the sale of the
upcoming Doctor Who series to the CBC in Canada - it's online at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/commercial/worldwidestories/pressrel
eases/2004/10_october/doctor_who_canada.shtml . The 13 episodes will
air at a date to be determined.

KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT http://www.kued.org has actually been airing Full Circle these past few weeks, not The Invisible Enemy as they told me in September. Their website has the correct schedule now. They are airing episodes in production order, so WarriorsGate will air later this month, instead of State of Decay, the next chronological story.

Joey (Reynolds) Donovan of Sci-Fi Overdrive
http://www.scifioverdrive.com reports that with the premiere of new
Doctor Who episodes getting closer, the 1st hour of Overdrive (when
in firstrun) will now have a section devoted to Doctor Who news,
beginning October 11.

Upcoming airings of Doctor Who (the 1996 TV Movie) on the
Starz/Encore Movie Pack http://www.starz.com . Spanish language
audio on secondary channel:
Encore Mystery:
Wednesday 6 October 8AM EDT East Feed / PDT West Feed
Saturday 9 October 6:50AM EDT East Feed / PDT West Feed
Sunday 24 October 8:15AM EDT East Feed / PDT West Feed
Friday 29 October 6:10AM, 6:20PM, & 12:45AM EDT East Feed / PDT West
Feed
Encore MoviePlex:
Friday 29 October 7:10AM, 7:20PM, & 1:45AM EDT East Feed / PDT West
Feed
Looking at the advance schedule, Doctor Who will not air on Starz in
November, so if you miss one of the 9 October showings, you'll have
to wait for a bit to see it again.

KTEH encores their interview with Peter Davison looking at his time as the 5th Doctor and more. They're also trying to relaunch their Sci-Fi Sunday lineup, with Red Dwarf airing weekly in order starting Sunday October 3 at 10PM PDT. Oddly enough, DirecTV local channel subscribers in Monterey get the National PBS feed on channel 25, not KTEH/KCAH. More KTEH produced Doctor Who interviews from the 80s and 90s are expected to air in November.
