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
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.

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:
SPECIAL - Vanguard Radio Doctor Who Special. Tony pulls out from the
vaults an episode of an internet radio show he used to host. This
time, it featured the music of Doctor Who from the beginning to the

The Tennantcast http://tennantcast.com
Kelsey, Kari, Flossie, and friends get together to dish on the latest
David Tennant news.

that suits the ladies (who are all together again) just fine.
26. "Absolute David". David's radio appearance, more about Rex, and
what would have happened if an earlier pilot of David's had made him
famous before the Casonova/Harry Potter/Doctor Who opportunities had

seen The Waters Of Mars. Some people may have to manually download
this one if they use iTunes, as iTunes favors the newest episode,
namely
15b. Full length (not 2 minutes short like BBC Radio 7) commentary on
The Waters Of Mars.
Coming when it comes.
Reviews and commentaries of all of Steven Moffat's episodes so far.
The inevitable episodes looking at David Tennant's final stories.
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.

get a commentary with some extra discussion at both ends of this
episode, the first new installment in a while.
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
26. The Dominators and The Mind Robber. Our hosts like moving
pictures. They like Zoe. They like clever ideas. While they find some
faults, this is the most positive episode in a while. Those looking
for complaints should pick an earlier episode - perhaps 22 or 23.
Coming soon-ish - 27. (I think) The Invasion and The Krotons.
Hoo On Who http://hooonwho.com
Fan reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs by David Hooie, frequently with
a guest co-host.
Current episode:

happening to everybody), David returns with a solo host review of City
Of Death, the story that to this day has the highest first run
broadcast ratings of any Doctor Who. Tom Baker, Lalla Ward, co-written
by Douglas Adams. And the DVD release is 2 full discs. There's even a
blink and you'll miss it appearance of This Week In Doctor Who in one
of the documentaries. David also details some future plans for the
podcast.
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,

Current episode:
Winter Preview Podcast - Nicholas Briggs and the gang get us up to
date on upcoming Doctor Who audios, surprises, and more details on the
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".
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.
