This Week In Doctor Who Western Hemisphere January 31, 2009 - Vol 1, No 5 The Guide to North and South American Doctor Who TV Listings by Benjamin F. Elliott |
|
USA - BBC America is moving towards the end of Series 4, with a marathon of recent episodes on Sunday February 1 (battling the Super Bowl) and a 46 minute version of the 63 minute Series 4 finale Journey's End debuting on Saturday February 7. BBC America will then take Doctor Who off the air for the rest of February. It is unknown if Who will be back in March or on its first break from the channel since Spring 2007. |

USA - Doctor Who - Series 3 (The Runaway Bride and the 13 episode 2007 series with Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones) are now distributed to Public TV stations by BBC Worldwide Americas, not American Public TV. Series 4 also seems to be available to buy - start date for Series 4 on Public TV stations is unknown. BBC Worldwide Americas also distributes classic Doctor Who to the stations that air it. WTVP 47 Peoria, IL joins the list of stations airing Series 3 - episodes begin February 14. |
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. |

As we approach the end of the rights, several stations are putting Doctor Who back on the air briefly to burn off Series 1 episodes while they can. NET Nebraska has been airing 3 episodes on Sunday afternoons all January long, and will end with one episode on Sunday February 1. WQLN 54 Erie, PA has been using up Series 1 late Fridays for a while and should finish just before the rights run out. WMFE 24 Orlando, FL is airing 3 episodes on Sunday nights beginning February 1. 2 episodes on KOCE Huntington/Orange County, CA on Saturday January 31 - they will have to air more episodes at a time on future Saturdays to actually finish the series before the rights run out. {c{345=KVPT 18 Fresno, CA is using their final run of Series 1 as a Super Bowl alternative. All 13 episodes on Sunday February 1 - 10:30AM to 8:30PM PST. There is no evidence that any of these mentioned stations have bought Series 2 or will buy future series of Doctor Who at this time - consider this their final farewells. |

Eight 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, Idaho Public TV, Wisconsin Public TV, and KLRU 18 Austin, TX. OETA Oklahoma has used half of their 4th and final cycle of Series 1. |
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. |

In the USA, all the full power TV stations are currently due to turn off their analog transmitters at 11:59PM on February 17*, 2009 and go strictly to digital broadcasting. This was the final, drop dead, we are serious, no take backs date agreed to several years ago after the date kept shifting. Cable customers will not see a difference. Satellite customers who get their local channels on the satellite service will not see a difference. If your TV gets local stations over the air and *does* have a digital tuner built in or as a set top box, you are fine but will want to do a scan on the 18th as many stations will be moving to new locations to be received better. If a TV does not have a digital tuner or a box, it will only be able to get some low power stations that have chosen to stay analog for a while. For all intents and purposes, the US digital transition that began in 1997 will finally be over. |
|
*At press time the US Senate has voted a second time to move the transition date to June 12, 2009. The US House was unable to pass the legislation since they used a special procedural motion that required a two-thirds vote. The bill is going back to the House for regular debate and will probably get voted on February 4, less than 2 weeks before the current deadline. If the House passes it, President Obama has announced he will sign it, and the date moves. It is unclear if stations would still be allowed to turn off analog on February 17 or if they would be forced to continue till closer to the June deadline. Hundreds of stations (including some Doctor Who affiliates) have filed and are currently filing plans to shut down on February 17 to try to protect themselves if the delay passes. The legislation would leave open the option to extend the digital transition still further if they do not think enough people are ready to lose analog signals. |
