USA - Wisconsin Public TV http://www.wpt.org has moved Doctor Who. Effective
today, Saturday 3 October, episodes air at 9:40PM Central. The Sunday repeats
are over. The time change coincides with WPT finishing the first cycle of Series
3 episodes it had the rights to air and beginning a rerun of Series 2.
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.
Note - the October 10 edition of the This Week In Doctor Who segments will
effectively be a 2 week version, as the column is taking October 17th off. Back
to normal on the 24th.
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
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.

excited about the Sarah Jane Adventures. And the Miniscope causes them to review
the Doctor Who saga of writer Chris Boucher.
Coming Soon:
Episode 161 - "Eleven To Sarahsday" - As the third series of Sarah Jane
Adventures prepares to launch, and the Doctor Who/Torchwood news fronts remain
very dead, will RFS go crazy for Sarah Jane? The TV series, anyway? Meanwhile,
the interloper (K9) has put out a darn exciting trailer, threatening to go after
the children's audience.

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 Episode:
#64 - Doctor Who's Unpredictable TV Future. With the rapid change in modern
technology and how people experience their entertainment, Chip dares to imagine
the unimaginable about Doctor Who's future.
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 55 - "Pick Of The Pits" - The Staggering team gives a look at
Quatermass, a concept that UK sci-fi fans are very familiar with and US/Canadian
sci-fi fans often have never heard of. The universe's biggest escape pod is
needed for the new Escape Pod Disc episode. The team look at Doctor Who
Magazine's poll of the Doctor Who stories. Feedback. And so forth. All in the
last Staggering episode where both digits are the same till episode 66.
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, hoping to make a TV show
for the brain. Can you get feedback in on their latest episode before they
record their next one - good luck with that.
Current episode:
17. A Sylvester McCoy special. Tony and Jo! look at Remembrance Of The Daleks
(origin of the 7th Doctor as schemer) and the Big Finish audio Shadow Of The
Scourge (set during the time of the Virgin Doctor Who New Adventures novels,
where the scheming was at its height). Will Jo! accept Tony's theories on
Sylvester McCoy? Will Jo ever get her hands on some Doctor Who New Adventures?
Will there be a new segment of As The Action Happens? The answer to at least one
of those questions was a yes. Lots of feedback, including a submission by me
about the real life of a cat known as Wycliff.

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 - 22. The Tomb Of The Cybermen and The Abominable Snowmen. One
of the Doctor's companions is growing rapidly in the affections of our hosts.
Another isn't quite winning them over yet. And how will the hosts cope with
having a full Troughton story - all the video survives.
Coming Sunday? - 23. The Ice Warriors and Enemy Of The World. 12 episodes. One
story has 4 surviving episodes. One story has 1 surviving episode. Our team

Hoo On Who http://hooonwho.com
Fan reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs by David Hooie, frequently with a guest
co-host.
Current episode:
#14. The Caves Of Androzani. Well, eventually David reviews The Caves Of
Androzani. First he goes a bit off format to have an excellent interview with
podcaster/radio host Steve Glosson, host of SHoE, Geek Out Loud, and the Big
Honkin' Show. Also, David is planning a get together with listeners at Gallifrey
21. Now, if I'm right about the hot tub he wants to meet at, he may have to
relocate the meeting to the somewhat cooler pool just a few feet away - my
memory is that the hot one is rather small. Rest assured, there is a detailed
review of The Caves Of Androzani in the episode.
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 - September podcast. The show gets a bit back to normal, with a
lack of celebrity guests. Upcoming news is announced. Thoughts are had. And I'm
sure a mug of tea was drunk somewhere. The Missing Season of Colin Baker stories
is about to hit. Judge Dredd audios are returning, along with the shocking
reason why they went away in the first place. These and other twists are covered
in the September Big Finish podcast.
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".

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
