This Week In Doctor Who Western Hemisphere
February 21, 2009 - Vol 1, No 8
The Guide to North and South American Doctor Who TV Listings
by Benjamin F. Elliott

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. KUED 7 Salt Lake City UT is now on the list of stations:

The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and Series 3:
WXXI 21 Rochester, NY (already running)
WTTW 11 Chicago, IL (start date unknown)
WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI (already running)
WILL 12 Urbana, IL (already running)
WTVP 47 Peoria, IL (already running)
Iowa Public TV (already running)
Idaho Public TV (already running)
Milwaukee Public TV (already running)
KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT (starts April 18)

Now, I am confident that there are more stations with rights to
Series 3 than that. But these are the stations who have contacted me.
Somehow I doubt that BBC Worldwide Americas is going to send out a
note with the stations who bought in like American Public TV did,
leaving us in the dark till a station comes forward or it appears in
their schedules.

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. 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 4 episodes this Sunday night to finish. 2 episodes on KOCE Huntington/Orange County, CA most Saturdays. 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.

Ten 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, KLRU 18 Austin, TX, KVPT 18 Fresno, CA, and KTEH 54 San Jose, CA. 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 3 and Sylvester McCoy episodes. KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA is airing
Tom Baker episodes while their new Who rights are about to expire.
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 June 12, 2009 and go
strictly to digital broadcasting. This is the most recent final
immovable date to be passed by Congress and signed by the President.
Roughly one third (about 600) of the stations have previously turned
off their analog signals and more will shut down during the 90 days
before June 12. And with a shortage of parts, analog stations that
have transmitter failures probably will not be repaired. Cable
customers are not noticing the change. Satellite customers who get
their local channels on the satellite service are not noticing the
change. 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 keep doing new scans whenever stations in your area turn off
analog, as the level of overlapping station interference will
decrease and many stations will be moving to new broadcast
frequencies 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 once this transition is complete, and
depending on where you live you may have already noticed stations
going away.

Public TV Premiere Run:
I have tried to get the correct digital switch day for each of these
stations. There has been a lot of conflicting information, and
sometimes I have had to guess. If you are watching these stations
over the air instead of via cable or satellite provided locals, your
best bet is to make sure you have a digital tuner NOW (built into
your TV, VCR, DVR, DVDR, etc or as a set-top box).

Series 1 - 4th Cycle:
On 14 February, The Long Game and Father's Day aired, with Dalek skipped. This Saturday still has 90 minutes of KOCE favorites that is hopefully Doctor Who broadcasts. So I'm going to make a guess:
Saturday 11:30PM? PST 1-09 The Empty Child pt 1 of 2?
Late Saturday 12:15AM? PST 1-10 The Doctor Dances pt 2 of 2?
28 February - specific pledge specials in the timeslot. No idea when/if the remaining Series 1 episodes will air. 28 February is the last day on their contract.
» it was reported the following week that The Doctor Dances and Boom Town aired.

Saturday 7PM and Midnight PST "2 Tom Baker episodes"
KBTC is reportedly airing episodes out of order with a bit of
confusion, so we cannot be sure which ones are airing. They are
probably from Tom Baker's last season. Looking forward to a reliable
schedule as soon as we have it again.
28 February 7PM and Midnight PST "2 Tom Baker episodes"
KBTC/KCKA has the right to air Series 1 another 3 times before
February 28, 2009, which they are not going to use. Looks like KBTC
will join WHRO in only having Classic Who rights.

Thanks for reading. Until next week, take care.
