USA - Doctor Who - Series 3 (The Runaway Bride and the 13 episode 2007 series
with Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones) and Series 4.0 (Voyage Of The Damned and
the 13 episode 2008 series with Catherine Tate as Donna Noble) are now
distributed to Public TV stations by BBC Worldwide Americas, not American Public
TV. 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 Series 4:
Idaho Public TV - currently in first run
WILL 12 Urbana, IL - starts 23 January
Milwaukee Public TV - starts 13 February
WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI - starts 27 February
The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and Series 3:
WXXI 21 Rochester, NY
WTTW 11 Chicago, IL
WTVP 47 Peoria, IL
Iowa Public TV
Idaho Public TV
Wisconsin 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 and 4
than that. But these are the stations who have contacted me or scheduled the
show. Unlike with the Series 1 and 2 deals, 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.

ONLINE RADIO SHOWS/PODCASTS:
Due to technical issues, I did not have time to update this section. Proper
update next time. To summarize the highlights of the new podcast episodes that I
don't have time to write in properly:
More live review fun on Podshock this time. A split reaction to The End Of Time,
Part Two on Radio Free Skaro and on the DWO Whocast. Michael announced a hiatus
of his Tin-Dog Podcast - not a cancellation, just a hiatus. Not even the sort of
hiatus where he comes back to do a movie in 7 years and there's a modernized
remake in 16 years, just a hiatus. And David Whooie of Hoo On Who has found his
love of the 6th Doctor.
Will update before 16 January
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. To those who contacted me
in the last week, I will get back to you soon.

The 3 Canadians (Warren, Steven, Chris) get together on the weekends for about

Time, Part One, but live in hope for Part Two.

Of Time, Part Two right after seeing the episode for the first time. But when
Chris hulks out in green and runs out to smash all Alberta, will the others
leave him to it, or convince him to calm down. After all, being a Hulk in Canada
in January can get you Hypothermia.

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.
Current Episode. 102. "DVD Double Dipping With Geekweek" - West unveils this
classic episode of Geek Week, his original podcast that came to an end as CIA
began.
Two Minute Time Lord http://twominutetimelord.com
A bite-sized commentary and revew show. Chip tries to keep his episodes short,
because we're ALL in a hurry these days.
Current Episodes:
#90. Spoilers! The End Of Time, Part One. Spoiled in short form.
#91. Make Someone Mad, Mr Moffat! Chip advises Stephen Moffat to stir his own
course with the new episodes. And that will not make everybody happy.
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:
"Mr Dalek and the Year Of The Gap". Benjamin F Elliott's first Mr. Dalek tale
has been turned into an audio play. Narrated by Tony Gallichan with comments by
Adam J Purcell. In the Earth year 2008, Mr Dalek got a bit bored, and made a
devil's bargain. When events turn against him, how far will Staggering Stories'
favorite Dalek go to regain his place of power? A tale of loss, redemption, and
an utter disregard for the fabric of time. Hang on, this Benjamin fellow sounds
familiar ...
Episode 61 - "A Very Tennant Christmas". The 5 regulars (including Fake Keith)
gather together for Christmas treats and merriment. News. A review of The Horns
Of Nimon - well, their opinion of Horns is more negative than my opinion. More
comedy. And the gang heads off to enjoy their Christmases, not to return till
2010.
Note - the Mr Dalek story and Episode 61 were released simultaneously. If you
hear these shows via iTunes, the default setting is to just download the newest
episode. Some people may have only downladed Episode 61, and not Mr Dalek. There
is a similar note on The Flashing Blade Podcast, for reasons that will be
obvious.
The Flashing Blade Podcast http://www.flashingblade.org.uk
This section is due for a revision. Jo! is scaling back her involvement. Sounds
like she will co-star in just half of the episodes now, with small features in
some of the other episodes. Tony will be around all the time - it's his show.
Tony is hinting at plans for the Jo-lite episodes, but is keeping his plans
secret for now. Either that or one of his kittens ate the plans and he hasn't
had time to rewrite them yet. He may be a scientist, but we just don't know. So,
half the episodes will be like 2009, and half of them will be made of a new
mixture. Also, Tony's putting up some interviews. New entry once the new format
comes out.
Current episode:
30. At the end of time, everybody can hear you scream, but nobody will bring it
up later, because time ended and they're all gone. Jo and Tony look at the first
half of The End Of Time, in the first Doctor Who podcast episode released in
2010 by UK Time (Americans and Canadians will see it as 31 December 2009 in most
cases). Tony also reminds people that iTunes will normally just download the
most recent show on the feed, so if you ignored my comments on it last week,
hopefully you'll hear Tony's comments and catch the episodes you missed.

50. The War Games and The Next Doctor. Benjamin F Elliott pops up on this
episode and helps review The War Games, the epic 10 episode story that ended the
2nd Doctor's era and black and white Who TV. Also, The Next Doctor. Benjamin
controversially suggests that the concept of what the aliens were doing to the
humans in The War Games was remarkably similar to the premise of Joss Whedon's
Dollhouse. Either Joss or Eliza Dushku must have seen this story in the past and
thought - imagine what could be done with modern TV and a bit of sex.
50.5. Happy Holidays. Christmas greetings from Robert.
The Tennantcast http://tennantcast.com
Kelsey, Kari, Flossie, and friends get together to dish on the latest David

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 episodes

Coming soon - the Jon Pertwee stories.
Hoo On Who http://hooonwho.com
Fan reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs by David Hooie, frequently with a guest
co-host.
Current episode:
#17. Mindwarp. Graeme Sheridan pops in and does a great job co-reviewing
Mindwarp, aka parts 5 to 8 of The Trial Of A Time Lord, where things get worse
and worse for the Doctor. Feedback comes out, and I'd say Hoo On Who has passed
on the topic suggested. Cultdom or CIA, I'd say the topic suggested is now fair
game for you guys.
The Cloister Room http://thecloisterroom.com

subject that get to the point, bulldoze through the point, back up to ground the

programming is on the rise in the UK and on the decline in the USA?
Tim's Take On ...
Tim Drury's podcast on various issues. Available on iTunes.
The Big Finish Podcast http://www.bigfinish.com/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
