Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org announced Wednesday in a press release http://www.iptv.org/iptv_news_detail.cfm?AnnouncementID=403 that they will begin airing the ChristopherEccleston Doctor Who episodes in March, the 8th public TV station in the US (2nd statewide broadcaster) to either announce or reveal the news in upcoming TV schedules. |
Public TV stations are allowed to buy the new Doctor Who as a one hour block - the original unedited episodes plus the corresponding Doctor Who Confidential CutDown documentary. At this time the package consists of the 13 Christopher Eccleston episodes that premiered in the UK in 2005 and aired (some of them edited) on the US SciFi Channel in 2006. Most stations are starting their run of episodes in March or April 2007. |

IPTV will continue airing the classic Doctor Who episodes if pledge support continues for them. Their press release did not note what day/time those episodes would move to. |
