Torchwood will air on the People + Arts cable/satellite station for
Mexico, Latin America, and South America. It starts on 28 August.
People + Arts also aired Doctor Who in Spanish. They are in the
middle of redoing their website - hopefully there will be broadcast
times available by next week.
Mexican viewers with Canal 22 will note that they actually aired
Cyberwoman last week due to a pre-emption in an earlier week. Canal
22 also pre-empts Torchwood this week. I don't know when the next
episode will air.
BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com has put up its schedule for the weekend of Torchwood's launch (also the weekend of Doctor Who Series 2 launch). Torchwood's broadcast times (adjust for local time in Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii):
Saturday 8 September:
9PM and Midnight EDT (6PM and 9PM PDT)
Sunday 9 September:
5PM EDT (2PM PDT)
BBC America On Demand starts Torchwood on August 27 while HD Net starts Torchwood on September 17.
Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho .
I am trying to find websites and station information for some of the
more elusive Torchwood sales. If you spot it airing or getting ready
to air in your country, and I've missed it, let me know so it gets
into the next edition and more fans get informed.
