THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO December 27, 2008 - Vol 11, No 51 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 - PBS and Podcasts. |

Doctor Who - Series 3 (The Runaway Bride and the 13 episode 2007 series with Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones) will be distributed to Public TV stations by BBC Worldwide Americas, not American Public TV. The episodes will start to roll out in January 2009. BBC Worldwide Americas also distributes classic Doctor Who to the stations that air it. At least one station has also purchased Series 4 (Voyage Of The Damned and the 13 episode 2008 series with Catherine Tate as Donna Noble). Start date for Series 4 - unknown. |
|
 |
Series 1 is currently available to public TV stations in an American Public TV package until February 28, 2009. American Public TV is not re-issuing Series 1, so those episodes will be unavailable to public TV stations after the aforementioned date unless/until BBC Worldwide Americas decides to offer them. Series 2 is currently available to public TV stations in an American Public TV package until March 31, 2010. 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). |
|
Six stations have used all their rights to the Series 1 package - WLVT 39 Allentown, PA, WJCT 7 Jacksonville, FL, WILL 12 Urbana, IL, Iowa Public TV, KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT, and KLRU 18 Austin, TX. 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. |
|
KTWU 11 Topeka, KS will air all of Series 1 on their digital .3 subchannel on New Years Eve. Nebraska PBS will begin airing 3 episodes of Series 1 Sundays at Noon on 4 January. We can expect more of these fast burnoffs as stations realize that they paid to be able to air these Doctor Who episodes a certain number of times - and have not taken advantage of what they paid for yet. |
|
3 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 Sylvester McCoy 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. I am hearing that WCET Cincinnati has opted to buy Series 2 of new Doctor Who and will wait a while before going to classic Who again. |
Many of the PBS stations are moving their digital subchannels around to merge their HD channel and their main channel. In most cases, the main channel (including Doctor Who) will be digital .1 in the near future. Full power analog broadcasts in the US end on February 17th, 2009. |
|
There will be major changes to This Week In Doctor Who starting with the January 3, 2009 edition. I am still considering various tweaks, but here is the tentative plan to make everything easier to use in 2009. I am trying a bit of branding and breaking down information to simplify efforts to find what you want. Should be particularly useful if you like to clip a bit to forward somewhere else (which does happen). Take a look: |
|
Column 1 - TWIDW: This Week In Doctor Who - the classic column. No more Sarah Jane listings. Listings for North and South America (essentially the Western Hemisphere) removed. Listings for stations with rights to Doctor Who that aren't airing the show right now - removed. |
|
Column 2 - TWIDW: Western Hemisphere (title may change) - everything Doctor Who from North and South America, inclduing almost all the PBS listings. Listings for PBS stations that aren't airing the show right now - removed. |
|
Column 3 - TWIDW: The Sarah Jane Schedules (premiere) - The Sarah Jane Adventures schedules all together and easy to read. Also - all the podcasts. Also - the listings for Doctor Who stations not currently airing the show that still have rights (all over the world, including PBS). If the K9 series ever gets finished and reaches the airwaves, it will be here. Essentially the catch-all column that can morph into a proper Sarah Jane column as the show's influence spreads around the globe. |
|
Column 4 - TWIDW: Torchwood This Week - apart from adding the TWIDW branding, this column stays the same. |
|
Outpost Gallifrey readers used to getting the combined This Week In Doctor Who column - you will see columns 1,2, and 3 in order on the This Week In Doctor Who page (well, the stations not airing Who will probably get clipped). |

The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and Series 3: WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI Iowa Public TV Idaho Public TV Milwaukee Public TV There will be more - we just do not have confirmation yet. |

CIA - Cultdom In Audio http://ciashock.podomatic.com Live Talkshoe broadcasts http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/30659 call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 30659 West, Dave AC, Colin, and other Doctor Who fans liked the live Doctor Who: Podshocks so much that they wanted to keep talking afterwards. The resulting show covers Doctor Who, anything else sci-fi related, and can go wildly off in all directions. Chats open 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Sunday December 7 - a surprise live Podshock delayed the start time. Eventually a discussion of the week's Doctor Who news occured, mixed with the topic - Spaceships and Spacecraft.

Radio Free Skaro http://radiofreeskaro.wordpress.com The 3 Canadians get together on Sundays for about an hour or two or more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane in a fairly amusing manner. Temporarily doing commentary on Series 4 episodes. Current episode - #113. A free-form episode like the days of yore. Indeed, they even remember the earliest editions when Chris was a listener making comments. A fun time was had by all, unless they were the staff at the CBC who opted to give Journey's End a 60 minute time slot. Right now fan views on that probably give those people heart burn. |
|
A Podcast Of Impossible Things http://podcastofimpossiblethings.blogspot.com Cardiff-based Doctor Who fans get together to discuss the latest Doctor Who and do a full length commentary on new Doctor Who episodes.

|
Bigger On The Inside http://www.earth-2.net Mike and Dan decide to do their own podcast exploring each Doctor Who story in broadcast order. It is a very different style from Jonathan's. Again - can they pull it off? Part of the Earth-2 family of podcasts. Warning - explicit language (swearing). If your headphones leak any sound at all - do not listen at work. Current episode - 3 - The Edge Of Destruction/Marco Polo combo show. Next episode - 4 - The Keys Of Marinus, as Mike learns to stop worrying and love the alien Voord. |

Cliff And Stephanie's Doctor Who Fan Podcast http://www.gspn.tv Current episode - 17 - Review of Midnight, Turn Left, The Stolen Earth, and Journey's End (free) Next episode - content unknown Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft review Doctor Who episodes when their busy schedule of podcasts allows time. This time it is a group review of the end of Series 4 and their thoughts on Doctor Who's upcoming break/loss of David Tennant. GSPN.tv is a network of podcasts on TV shows, daily life, religion, and other issues that interest the 3 Ravenscrafts. Doctor Who Fan Podcast becomes one of the pay programs in the network starting with episode 12. The existing paying audience ranked Doctor Who dead last in their interests (annoying the hosts who want to do the show but are living off the revenue from their podcasts). If you subscribe to their podcasts in order to hear the new Doctor Who episodes, be sure to alert them that you are doing this. Half the episodes expected to be free, half paid. |
