United States of America (table of States)
For the handful of states tagged ** we have no screening details at all. The series may not have aired on a local station, but may have been available from a neighbouring state.
Relayed Broadcasts
Doctor Who was not sold per se to these countries, but it was officially available because transmissions were deliberately relayed from another country:
- Papua New Guinea (relayed from Australia)
- Saint Lucia (relayed from Barbados)
See also the section on the Middle East - the Arabic countries of the Persian Gulf received TV broadcasts from their neighbours.
Doctor Who aired on a number of Cable and Satellite stations:
- HBO OLE cable station serving Central and South America
- Cable and Satellite - some of which served Europe, the Middle East and Asia, such as BBC Prime and Super Channel
Countries Unconfirmed
The following countries apparently screened the series but the only "evidence" is anecdotal rather than from any official BBC Records or other reliable sources, and for which no airdates have been located:
Other Countries
Although Doctor Who did not screen on television in these countries during the date ranges covered by this web-site, it was known there because of the Peter Cushing Dalek movies, or novelisations, videos and other merchandise were available:
Regions
Each country falls into one of eight continents or global regions:
Europe (inc Mediterranean)
NEW SERIES
