THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO December 1, 2007 - Vol 10, No 48 The weekly guide to Doctor Who boadcasts worldwide. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood |

Section B - The US Public TV stations: |
|
Between the December pledge drive and stations resting the Eccleston episodes to use later in the contract period, most stations will not be airing Doctor Who in the next few weeks. |
|
As of this writing, 45 stations are known to have bought the 2005 series of Doctor Who (the 13 Christopher Eccleston episodes). Many of the public TV stations have also gotten the Cut Down versions of Doctor Who Confidential Series 1 (as seen on the DVD set). Stations have the right to cycle through these episodes 4 times before February 28, 2009. If you are happy that your station is airing Doctor Who, write them a letter or send them an e-mail. (Maybe even keep an eye out for a pledge drive.) |
|
If Series 3 becomes available to public TV stations, it will be after the episodes have aired on BBC America. They have already aired on SciFi. |
|
 |
4 Public TV stations currently have rights to air the classic Doctor Who run (1963-1989). Iowa Public TV is currently airing both the new series and Peter Davison episodes. KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA, Maryland Public TV, and WCET 48 Cincinnati, OH are airing Tom Baker episodes while resting the new series. |
