Kansas City fans with KCPT 19 will get at least one more run through
the 2006 Doctor Who episodes. New Earth through Rise Of The Cybermen
will air in a marathon on Saturday 2 January starting at 8PM CST
(unfortunately the same night that The End Of Time, Part Two premieres
on BBC America). The remaining 8 episodes air weekly from 9 January at
10:30PM CST (1 episode per week).
San Jose/San Francisco fans - KTEH's website has a Doctor Who
Confidential episode airing on 21 December at 10:45PM and Christmas
Day at 11:45PM. It has a Doctor Who episode airing Christmas Day at
11PM. KTEH 54.1, KQED 9.2, and KQET 25.2 if this is happening. Episode
title unknown.
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 is becoming available by January - a PBS station has put it
on the schedule. (Maybe it should be Series 4 part 1, as I doubt The
Next Doctor onwards are included with it yet.) 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 - starts 2 January
The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and
Series 3:
WXXI 21 Rochester, NY
WTTW 11 Chicago, IL
WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI

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.

end the series for now and focus on other topics at the end of the

Graham Harper, the only director to date to work on the original
Doctor Who run and the modern stories. (This is a metaphorical

Miniscopes - that no time sensitive machines were harmed in the making
of this episode.)

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.

episode, where West, Benjamin Elliott, Diann Walling, and DaveAC
discussed The Prisoner.
Next scheduled episode:
Saturday 3PM EST (Noon PST, 8PM GMT) - "When Does Sci-Fi Become

19 December 3PM EST (Noon PST, 8PM GMT) - "Don't Be A Heat Mizer, And
Listen To Our Show About Christmas Specials" - a longer than normal
episode title.
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:
#83. Responding to i09, Defending RTD.
#84. The Wilderness Anniversary. Chip gives his thoughts on December
6, 1989, the day the original Doctor Who series died (as a weekly TV
show).
#85. Chekhov's Sonic Screwdriver. RTD's economy of information gets
discussed in this episode. The vast majority of concepts introduced in
episodes come back later in other forms. Very little throwaway. The
good and the bad of this idea.
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 60 - "Blathering In Dreamland". Fake Keith may be missing a
lot in the next batch of episodes - find out why! A new animated
Doctor Who story aired, so it has to be reviewed. Sarah Jane reviews.
Feedback. Many other topics. And if you plan to get feedback in for
episode 61, you're already too late. Due to the travel plans of
members of the gang, episode 61 has already recorded, to be released
later.
Coming Later:
Episode 61 - Christmas Episode 2009.
At least one Christmas bonus involving at least one Staggering Stories
cast member and at least one Flashing Blade Podcast cast member. If
you have twitter or facebook and follow at least one of these guys,
you already know what this will be.
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 episodes:
26. Review of "Circular Time", and the regular wackiness.
27. The first of two episodes recorded back to back, after Midnight
local time for the hosts. Wow! Our sleepy hosts look at the famous 2nd
Doctor TV story "The Tomb Of The Cybermen". Professor Dave talks
"Dreamland". And lots of feedback.
Coming soon.
28. The second of the episodes taped the same night, where Tony and
Jo! look at the first Doctor Who TV spinoff - the 1981 pilot "K9 And
Company: A Girl's Best Friend".
Bridging The Rift http://bridgingtherift.wordpress.com
Katrina (Radio Free Skaro) and Nat bring the worlds of Doctor Who

weeks. Each episode has a special guest co-host.
13. Cursed Episode Thirteen. Major production problems (I can relate -
I am still relating) have scrapped several plans for new episodes. But
on Friday November 13, our hosts use pluck and feedback to piece
together a new episode.

Doctor Who and do a full length commentary on new Doctor Who episodes.

Doctor Who - The Waters Of Mars - the Cardiff gang do a commentary.

and ... the one who you can remember without knowing his name.
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
27. The Invasion and The Krotons. Mike has a new favorite story (The
Invasion). Thoughts on the stories and the animation.

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.

Sherlock Holmes range.
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". At least one of the
hosts claims that a new episode is in production. Expect it around
Christmas.

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.
