THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO

The weekly guide to Doctor Who boadcasts worldwide.

Section B - The Public TV stations.

American Public TV http://www.aptonline.org has listed Doctor Who -
The Christmas Invasion as a recommended title to air in the
Christmas/holidays/New Year schedule. American Public TV is the
syndicator of new Doctor Who to public TV stations, and it is always
nice when they highlight the show. Go to Just For Stations section
and read the November Newsletter (with new information for January
2009). Doctor Who is one of their top syndicated shows again, using
logic that the PBS programmers who read this column will understand
but which I don't quite get well enough to convey.

Public TV station programmers have already met in Houston to look at
new and existing American Public TV shows and make plans for 2009.
Now we just get to wait to learn what Doctor Who's future is on
broadcast TV. Series 1 is currently available to public TV stations
in a package until February 28, 2009. Series 2 is currently available
to public TV stations in a package until March 31, 2010. If more
Doctor Who was offered, it likely would have been a Series 3 package
and/or a relicensing of Series 1. For now, we wait. If your station
currently airs Doctor Who, write them a letter and thank them for the
support, beyond any pledges and other support you may already be
doing.

4 Public TV stations currently have rights to air the classic Doctor Who run (1963-1989). Iowa Public TV is currently airing both New Who Series 2 and Colin Baker episodes. KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA is airing Tom Baker episodes while resting New Who Series 1. WHRO 15 Norfolk, VA is airing Tom Baker episodes but apparently does not have New Who Series rights. WCET 48 Cincinnati, OH is resting classic Who while repeating New Who Series 1 - Peter Davison would theoretically be next.

Four stations have used all their rights to the Series 1 package - WLVT 39 Allentown, PA, WJCT 7 Jacksonville, FL, WILL 12 Urbana, IL, and Iowa Public TV. Idaho Public TV is airing a 5th Cycle of Series 1. OETA Oklahoma has used half of their 4th and final cycle of Series 1. WMFE 24 Orlando, FL did not renew Doctor Who. Maryland Public TV is claiming that their rights have expired, though they can still air Series 1 two more times before February 28, and they are not ruling out buying future episodes. If any other stations have non-renewed, they have yet to tell us.

Remember, for the Series 1 and 2 packages, stations have bought the rights to cycle through the episodes 4 times. They are not required to do so. WMFE 24 Orlando, FL is not expected to use their 4th run of Series 1. Other stations may make the same choice for Series 1 as February 28, 2009 comes close. Unless a station admits what they are doing, I'm stuck keeping it here with the most hopeful scenario (the number of times they still *could* air the episodes).

The public TV stations known to have bought The Christmas Invasion and Series 2. Stations where we do not know if Christmas Invasion was bought will have a * by them (list may grow):
