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:

update before 19 September
Many of the podcasters in the UK (along with Who fans in general) were at the
Whooverville convention on Sunday. There was 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
Live Talkshoe broadcasts - http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/23358
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 episodes:
-Podshock Episode 161 - Doctor Who news and part one of an in-depth interview
with Gary Russell. James is absent from this episode.
-Podshock Episode 162 (just released, downloading to my computer as I write
this) - Part 2 of the interview with Gary Russell, and a guest appearance from
the famous Jules Burt. Longtime Podshock listeners should know Jules. Plus,
based on the notes, he's now married.

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.
Current Episodes:
-158 - "Amsterdamned" - The second half of a commentary on Arc of Infinity,
having left the superior* Warriors of the Deep to a parallel universe version
of the podcast where the 3 Canadians wear evil goatees. Meanwhile, Warren's
computer attempts to terminate itself during recording, creating the greatest
amount of drama in the episode.
Coming Soon:
Episode 159 - "Survival Of The Fittest Laptop" - Will the other computers join
Warren's in efforts to die and derail the new topic? Will breaking news appear
in time to liven things up? Was it actually Warren's computer, or is that
confusion caused by listening to "another" alternate universe version of RFS. To
quote a podcaster who has never been on Radio Free Skaro - 'we just don't know!'
*Note - In this case superior refers to the script they were using. It is up to
the viewers to decide which story's script was treated better during filming.

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 episodes
#133. The man, the legend, the Jon Pertwee, part 2! This episode focuses on the
first 3 series of Jon Pertwee's run as the Doctor. The years where the Doctor
was stranded on Earth.
#134. The man, the legend, the Jon Pertwee, part 3! This episode focuses on the
last 2 series of Jon Pertwee's run as the Doctor, along with his subsequent
appearances in the show during his life.

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:
#100 - The 100th Episode: Michael's Top 20 Whoness Things. Dedicated to the
memory of Andrew Barber. A very special episode of Tin Dog Podcast, but in a
good way.

The Cultdom Collective http://www.cultdom.com
Live Talkshoe Broadcasts http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/54821
call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 54821
Doctor Who (and other) fans get together to discuss anything that is unusual,
odd, or otherwise not normal. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere - until somebody
mentions the quality control of Talkshoe's service. Chats open 15 minutes before
the scheduled start time.
Current episode:
7. Does Superman Suck?. The state of Superman, particularly in the five movies
everyone remembers. The good, the bad, the weird - examined by a gang of Doctor
Who fans who like their superheros too. Bonus at the end - our panelists have to
decide which superheroes deserve another movie. Some results may surprise.
Special Un-numbered episode. Cultdom At Whooverville 2009. A special episode
with just Dave and Ian. Dave's experiences at Whooverville are recounted,
including some never before heard sound clips, and Dave's own attempt at putting
out a restored audio of the podcasting panel.
Upcoming episodes:
Sunday 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.
27 September 3:30PM EDT/12:30PM PDT/8:30PM BST - Has Bond Shaken His Last
Martini? This episode is not expected to focus on the James Bond Jr. animated
series from the 1990s.

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:
#62 - "God and Gridlock". Chip examines how Russell T Davies handles religion
in Doctor Who. And Chip thinks the lessons of Gridlock should be taught to some
other people.
#63 - "Solving the Dalek Dating Controversy". (Note - this episode is reported
to be a semi-sequel to the Two Minute Time Lord episodes 8, 9, and 10.) The
controversy over the dates in Dalek and the dates in "The Stolen
Earth/Journey's End" seeming to conflict. Helped with a side order of Charles
Shultz' Peanuts.

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 54 - "Hounds Of The Whooverville". All 5 of the current cast of
Staggering actually made it to the same recording for the first time in a while.
Hear about their adventures at Whooverville. Marvel at how the Head Of Pertwee
has become an international superstar, but still finds a way to "keep it real".
Feedback, including another trailer for a short story written by some great
person or other.
Episode 54 - "Whooverville, Whatterville, Where-erville, Whenerville,
Whyerville?" - An all new episode of Staggering Stories, coming Sunday. You've
heard the Whooverville panel on various podcasts. But have you heard the
thoughts of Adam, the guy who brought the audio recorder?

The Flashing Blade Podcast http://www.flashingblade.org.uk
Tony Gallichan. Jo ()! One man, one woman. One with decades of Doctor Who fan
experience. Another who turns on the show when it airs on TV. One has lots of
cats. Another can say the word "news" in various amusing ways. Together they
unite for a weekly look into the worlds of Doctor Who. Often reviewing a Big
Finish audio and a TV series story, unless something crazier comes along. Follow
their weekly adventures, as they work to turn our brains to jelly and conquer
the Earth. Because they are aliens, and that's how they roll. Flashing Blade -
an evil plot to destroy the Earth. (death ray bolt flies past) Just Kidding!
Current episodes:
14 - Patient Zero and Rose. Jo! and the Tony look back to the mists of 2005,
when Doctor Who returned to our TV screens. They also look to modern times,
where new Big Finish audio "Patient Zero" has an older Doctor (Colin Baker) and
a newer companion (Charley Pollard, played by India Fisher). More cat antics.
Recorded early as they prepared for Whooverville.
15 - SPACE: 1999 Plus 10! With special theme tune and 70s graphics. Colin Baker,
Jo!, and the Tony went to Whooverville. The head of a previous Doctor was
carried around as a trophy. Sound conditions were ... erratic. Lots of
convention talk, and the unedited podcast panel. I could not identify a
difference in the sound quality between this version and the Radio Free Skaro
version (probably as it is the same raw audio).
Coming Soon:
A review of "The Holy Terror" and Image of the Fendahl. Plus more Earth
conquest. (another death ray bolt flies past)

Bridging The Rift http://bridgingtherift.wordpress.com
Katrina (Radio Free Skaro) and Nat bring 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.
8. Chris Burgess (Radio Free Skaro, TennantCast) is the latest and possibly
tallest guest co-host of Bridging The Rift. This week - Exploring Conventions.
How do conventions work these days? Difference between conventions in various
places. Convention stories. Whooverville and Gallifrey 2009 get used as
comparison points.

Who related terms.

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.
17 - I'm A Pony! The title is inspired by Richard Simmons, and not by backing
music in the Staggering Stories podcast. Fabio!, Richard Simmons, and a
screencap from the Friday Night Project throw the team into a discussion on
alternate careers for David Tennant if the acting experiment doesn't work out.
Just wanted to note - the sound quality for the last couple of Tennantcast
episodes has been much improved. The people in front of (and working secretly
behind) the microphones - congrats.

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 - 21. The Faceless Ones and The Evil Of The Daleks. Learn why
the hosts are subjecting themselves to just the reconstructions on missing
episodes - the logic makes sense, though I'd cheat and play the CD as the audio
while looking at the reconstruction. Ben and Polly leave in a hurry, as Victoria
arrives in a hurry. Are these the episodes where Jamie comes into his own?

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 - 4. Requiem For A Drama. Tom returns after 4 weeks away and
looks at shows that are cancelled before their time. Is it worth investing in a
show that might soon (or has already) been cancelled. Tom's view is similar to
mine (yes, it is worth it), but you're downloading Tom's show for his opinions
on this.

Tim's Take On ...
Tim Drury's podcast on various issues. 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.

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?
Episode 101 is now not scheduled. We do not know when CIA's return date is.
