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 stations.

If you're a PBS station airing Doctor Who and I don't have you listed - contact
me. If you're watching Doctor Who on a PBS station that's not on this list -
contact me AND tell me the day, time, and episode that aired so I can track
things down (some stations have websites where schedule information is -
lacking).

The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and Series 3:
WXXI 21 Rochester, NY
WTTW 11 Chicago, IL (currently in first run)
WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI
WILL 12 Urbana, IL
WTVP 47 Peoria, IL
Iowa Public TV
Idaho Public TV
Wisconsin Public TV (currently in first run)
Milwaukee Public TV
KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT
OETA Oklahoma
KLRU 18 Austin, TX
Alaska Public TV
WSKG/WSKA 46,30 Binghamton/Elmira, NY
KERA 13 Dallas, TX (currently in first run)

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 or scheduled the show.
Unlike previous years, we are in the dark till a station comes forward or new
Who appears in their schedules.

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. American Public TV is no longer offering Series 1 - I do not know if
BBC Worldwide Americas will offer those stations to public TV stations now or
not.

2 Public TV stations currently have rights to air the classic Doctor Who run
(1963-1989), but not New Who. KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA is airing Peter Davison
episodes. WHRO 15 Norfolk, VA is airing Tom Baker episodes.

And now, the listings:

ONLINE RADIO SHOWS/PODCASTS:

Many of the podcasters in the UK (along with Who fans in general) will be at the
Whooverville convention on Sunday. Doctor Who guests will be there. There will
also be a podcasting panel, so I imagine it will be a hot topic on Who related
podcasts for a while, like the panel at the Gallifrey convention was for
podcasters in February.

This section is always open to discovering new Doctor Who/Sarah
Jane/K9/Torchwood material of note. If you think your webcast/podcast (or
somebody else's) belongs in this section, e-mail me.

Doctor Who: Podshock http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/vortex

call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 23358
1) Home to the longest continuously running weekly-ish international Doctor Who
chat show done in podcast format. Hosted by Louis Trapani, Ken Deep, and James
Naughton, with frequent contributions/co-hosting by Dave AC, Mike Doran, and a
cast of many. There is a feed for studio shows and a feed for live shows.
2) Also home to the Sonic Newsdriver, Louis Trapani's periodic rundown of new
Doctor Who news.
3) Also home to the Hitch-hiker's Guide To British Sci-Fi, a podcast covering a
mix of shows, including Doctor Who.
Current episode:
-Podshock Episode 160 - Two(!) guests this time as Dominic Glynn (1980s Doctor
Who music composer) and Danny Stewart (rapidly rising music composer) do a joint
interview. Also, the Regeneration story reviews continue with Spearhead From
Space. Spearhead - the first colour story, the only story shot entirely on 16mm
film (no, not 35 - 16), intro to a new Doctor and the next 5 crazy years. The
latest convention updates, and more.

Radio Free Skaro http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
The 3 Canadians (Warren, Steven, Chris) get together on the weekends for about
an hour or more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane
in a fairly amusing manner. When one is away, the 4th Canadian (Katrina) will
play. Or will she - Katrina and her friend Nat have launched a spinoff podcast
called "Bridging The Rift".
Current Episodes:
156 - "Polyphase Avatron" - Fears of a repeat of Dimensions In Time buffeted the
internet. Podcasting panels. Douglas Adams on the Miniscope. And other assorted
rants.
Coming Soon:
Episode 157 - "Ghostlight 2: So Light Was Darwin All The Time, And We Created A
Historical Paradox By Stopping Him, By Gar" - At press time, Radio Free Skaro
had threatened to restart classic Who commentaries due to the slowness of the
news week. They won't even be able to get a live report from Whooverville, as
Chris moved back to Canada recently. Maybe they have some thoughts on the Doctor
Who Greatest Moments: Enemies documentary.

DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com
Trevor from Australia and Marty from the UK talk Doctor Who with themselves,
others, and teddy bears dressed as doctors. Now with a rock version of the
opening theme, the Whocast continues to ask the questions that pop in to their
heads. Regular correspondent - James. Frequent guest - Michael of the Tin Dog
podcast.
Current episode:
#132. The man, the legend, the Jon Pertwee, part 1! An episode focusing on the
3rd Doctor, the first guy in colour, the one who has a Navy Lark that BBC Radio
7 likes to repeat a lot. Listen in, or Jon will turn up at your house with a
bottle of brandy, two glasses, and an eyepatch story you've already heard. First
in a multi-part set exploring Pertwee.

Tin Dog Podcast http://www.tin-dog.co.uk
UK based podcast looking at the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, or Sarah Jane
Adventures. New episodes ever 2 weeks or so.
Current episode:
#99 - The Twin Dilemma. You get a real sense of how a review is going to go when
the shownotes are hyping the fact that the next episode (100) is out soon
instead of describing this one. Michael does find some good points, play some
nice clips, and praises the cast. The story itself comes out a bit less kindly.

West 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. Show
founder West has alerted Dave AC and West that he will return full time to
hosting duties with episode 101. Chats open 15 minutes before the scheduled
start time.
Current episode - 100. Dave AC and Ian retire as the regular guest hosts. Final
episodes of TV shows are discussed. And could we have celebrity guest
appearances?
Next Episode - Sunday 2PM EDT/7PM BST/11AM PDT (postponed from 30 August) - 101.
New Beginnings. West and CIA are back! Live! Late breaking!

Dave AC and Ian have guest hosted CIA so much that they developed a taste for
doing it themselves. So they are launching their own show starting Sunday 2
August. Now the two shows will be side by side, one after the other for twice
the chatting on twice the topics. Chats open 15 minutes before the scheduled
start time.
Current episode:
5. Comedy and Sci-Fi (not going to track down the late changing title) Cultdom
combined two planned shows into one big one. A look at where sci-fi and comedy
combine. And lo, many shows were discussed. Indeed, I'm sure many people were
unaware that there have been 3 spinoffs of Alf to date (not one, not two, but
three). Thoughts were provoked. Comedy was had. Reality melted.
Upcoming episode:
Sunday 3:30PM EDT/12:30PM PDT/8:30PM BST - Saturday Morning Kids Cult TV. A look
back to when there was original Saturday moring kids programming (not that long
ago) and there was a fair amount of sci-fi and fantasy in it. Dave is supposed
to be at Whooverville that day and on a podcasting panel, so if he misses the
show or sounds a bit hoarse from lots of talking, there's your reason.
13 September 3:30PM EDT/12:30PM PDT/8:30PM BST - Does Superman Suck? I'm not
going to speculate on this subject title with a 10 foot fiberglass cape.
20 September 3:30PM EDT/12:30PM PDT/8:30PM BST - Samantha's Slash Spectacular.
Samantha (Romana 2, host of The Wailing Fangirl) is expected to co-host this
exploration into the history of slash fan fiction. Adults only episode.

Two Minute Time Lord http://twominutetimelord.com
A bite-sized commentary and revew show. Host Chip's interest was rekindled by
the 2005 revival. He believes in balancing old fandom and new viewers, respect
for the past and breaking the rules. He tries to keep his pontifications to 120
seconds, because we're ALL in a hurry these days.
Current Episodes:
#58 - "If Torrents Become A Trickle, Will Doctor Who Be Delayed?" - can't
describe this episode better than its title did.
#59 - "Bringing Back More Old Companions" - Chip explores the risk of having
more classic Who companions return, and tries to think of the safest ones to
revisit.
And coming soon:
Chip was planning to have an unedited version of his interview with Toby Hadoke
on the feed.

Staggering Stories http://www.staggeringstories.net
A wild, wandering podcast with Doctor Who and the other flavours of the moment
winding together roughly once every 2 weeks. The website's main focus is on
stories collected through the years.
Current:
Episode 52 - "Crow Balancing For Beginners". A feast of topics for our hosts, as
they talked about Tom Baker audio, David Tennant animated, James Marsters, Eric
Hudson, World Of Warcraft, the Black Guardian boxset, and much more. And while I
wasn't surprised that my feedback got read out, I was pleasantly surprised that
it was Dramatised. My notes did "not" mention My Little Pony - that was courtesy
the editing of Karen Dunn. Dalek purists can address their notes accordingly.
Episode 54 - "Whooverville, Whatterville, Where-erville, Whenerville,
Whyerville?" - The next episode was due to be recording on 7 September, the day
after at least some of the cast was expected to be at the Whooverville
convention and take part in a podcasting panel. However, this episode and any
reaction to the event won't reach the public till at least 13 September, a ways
off.

The Flashing Blade Podcast http://www.flashingblade.org.uk
Tony Gallichan returns to podcast land with new podcaster Jo! to look at Doctor
Who and matters of interest. Tony grew up with UK fandom and knows all the
cliches. Jo! - didn't. Flashing Blade wants to be known as the podcast that
would like a nice cup of tea.
Trivia point - Russell T Davies mentions the original Flashing Blade show during
the podcast commentary for The Doctor's Daughter. I was relistening to the
commentary for some reason this week and I finally caught the reference.
Current episode:
13 - Attack Of The Ukelele. Jo!, Tony, and "The Ukelele" have their first 3 host
episode. Jo! and Tony listened to the 5th Doctor Big Finish audio "The
Kingmaker" and watched the original unaired pilot to An Unearthly Child. While
their reviews were interesting and Tony's pedantry was on fine form, Tony failed
to bring up an important point. WHICH version of the unaired pilot did they
watch. The first half of the episode was recorded once while the second half was
recorded twice. The episode has been put together with the first take of the
seond half and with the second take of the second half. Also, the DVD release
has a special version of the unaired pilot where all the best takes were
combined together using the editing technology of 2005. That version is the one
that airs as the first episode of the An Unearthly Child DVD disc, right before
the broadcast version. Indeed, I have a suspicion that's the one that got
watched. Still, interesting episode.
Coming Soon:
13 - Audio "Patient Zero" and the classic Doctor Who episode Rose. Hard to
think that Rose is passing into older Doctor Who as time marches on.

Bridging The Rift http://bridgingtherift.wordpress.com
Katrina (Radio Free Skaro) and Nat launch a new show bringing the worlds of
Doctor Who fandom, Torchwood fandom, Sarah Jane Adventures fandom, K9 fandom,
and other areas together. Each week - a special guest co-host.
5. Appreciating The Classics. Special guest Steven (Radio Free Skaro) joins
Katrina and Nat in their exploration of Doctor Who classic.
6. The World Of Fan Fiction. Spider (aka Spiderine) visits and joins in a
discussion about the various types of Doctor Who fan fiction and the legal
position of transformative works. Because episode 5 ran long, the Creativity
Corner from that episode (including Steven) is included in this episode.

The Minute Doctor Who Podcast
http://web.mac.com/backintheussr6/The_Minute_Doctor_Who_Podcast/Podcast/Podcast.\
html
Video (sometimes just audio) podcast looking at Doctor Who projects. Episodes
are usually under 5 minutes long.

Doctor Who Review Today http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/22756
call in number (724) 444-7444 talkshoe id 22756
Live editions Late Fridays 1AM EDT/10PM PDT/6AM BST every couple of weeks
Robert Carrie King reviews Doctor Who topics (DVDs and news, mostly) on this
Talkshoe program. Frequent cast member on CIA: Cultdom In Audio.
Most recent episode - Episode 42. Attack Of The Cybermen and a second attempt at
Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday. Robert and everyone else who turns up (Darth Skeptical
and Samantha among them) talk about 2 Cybermen stories. One story was full of
plot twists tying together popular fan theories and fan fiction, setting up
unlikely returns and making the Doctor look at someone in a different light. And
the other was Attack Of The Cybermen. Any classic series fans probably just
groaned. Apologies. Actually, BOTH stories do all those things. But Army Of
Ghosts/Doomsday is much more popular than Attack Of The Cybermen, and hopefully
this episode explored that issue.

The Tennantcast http://tennantcast.com
Kelsey, Kari, Flossie, and friends get together to dish on the latest David
Tennant news.
15 - David Dances. Does what it says in the title.

The Wailing Fangirl http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/22228
Samantha (Romana 2) explores Doctor Who and fandom in Australia, sometimes with
the aid of the ladies of the Gallifreyan Time Love Brigade. Frequent cast member
on CIA: Cultdom In Audio.
Current episode:
12. The gang look at Doctor 11 and Amy Pond's fashion style. Comic-Con reactions
are covered. And a second look at Torchwood: Children Of Earth after a month of
reflection.

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.
Current episodes:
Full length commentaries on Torchwood: Children Of Earth episode 1 and
Torchwood: Children Of Earth episode 5.

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 - 20. The Moonbase and The Macra Terror. Doctor Who meets
Cybermen and Killer Krabs. The hosts explore these 2 early Troughton stories.
Note to the hosts, as I think one of you reads the column - all the missing
stories are out on CD. The audio is cleaned up dramatically and the CDs have
narration that helps a lot. You may want to just buy the audios and play them
while your telesnap reconstructions are running on the TV (and mute the TV's
sound). These stories are so much better when you can hear what is being said,
and on the CDs - you usually can.

Hoo On Who http://hooonwho.com
Fan reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs by David Hooie, frequently with a guest
co-host.
Current episode:
#13. Planet Of The Dead - Blu-Ray Release. David listens to the most recent
Doctor Who story, the first one released on the Blu-Ray format. While all Doctor
Who could be released on Blu-Ray if people wanted to, this was the first story
filmed in HD, and therefore the first one where you would see noticable quality
improvements (you could fit more classic episodes on a Blu-Ray and more extras
and have less compression, but it won't radically change the picture/sound
quality of the source material). So, how did the BBC do on their first Doctor
Who Blu-Ray release? Opinion - mixed.

The Cloister Room http://thecloisterroom.com
Tom Dickinson begins a solo Doctor Who podcast effort with short shows on short
subject that get to the point, bulldoze through the point, back up to ground the
point down some more, then flee the scene before the police arrive.
Current episode - 3. "Man, Oh Mandalorian!" Tom looks at the canon debates in
Doctor Who and Star Wars. He prefers Doctor Who's approach to canon..

Tim's Take On ...
Tim Drury's podcast on various issues. Still checking it out at press time.
Available on iTunes.

The Big Finish Podcast http://www.bigfinish.com/podcast
Big Finish podcasts at least once a month to discuss their Doctor Who and other
projects (Sapphire and Steel, Stargate (!), Dark Shadows, Bernice Summerfield,
etc).
Current episode - Rob Shearman special. Instead of doing an August episode, Nick
Briggs parties with Rob and inserts what news updates there are in when the
conversation slows a tad. Rob's short story work with Big Finish dominates the
discussion, but he has a past with the company going back to its early audios.
While Rob has been on podcasts before, this may be the first time that his name
wound up in the episode title, and that counts for something.

Tachyon TV http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk
Irregular and irreverant podcast looking at the world of Doctor Who with a
funhouse mirror and coming out the other side holding a plush toy that wasn't
really the one you wanted but you'll keep it anyway because you can give it to
your girlfriend to impress her. It's that kind of show.
Current segment - a short appeal by "Rula Lenska".

MMM Commentaries/Fantragic http://www.mmmcommentaries.com
Roving Australian podcasting gang, including Trevor from the DWO Whocast.
Commentaries on Doctor Who episodes, Star Wars films, some Stargate stuff, and
others. The Frantragic episodes look at Doctor Who and other sci-fi news.
Fantragic episodes are on a different iTunes feed from MMM Commentary episodes.
Current Doctor Who episode - Journey's End. If the description in the iTunes tag
is anything to go by, this running commentary on the Doctor Who Series 4 finale
will not have a happy ending..
