Television Stations / Channels
Argentina began its television service in 1951.
The sole broadcaster is Asociacion de Teleradiodifusoras Argentinas (ATA), now known as Canal Siete.
Unlike the majority of the other South American countries, the station adopted the PAL colour system (experiments with NTSC were abandoned in 1969).
DOCTOR WHO IN ARGENTINA
PETER CUSHING / DALEKS
The second of the two Peter Cushing Dalek movies was shown in theatres in Argentina (presumably in the late 1960s) under the title "Daleks Invasion a la Tierra Ano 2150AD".
The first film was shown (in English) at the British Arts Centre (BAC) in Suipacha, Buenos Aires on 29 September 1998.
Stories bought and broadcast
PAUL McGANN
The 1996 TV Movie was available in Argentina via three different methods:
Video
The TV Movie was available as (possibly a Rental Only?) VHS tape from MCA/Universal/CIC Video in late 1996.
The Spanish subtitled tape - with the cover title EL DOCTOR WHO - had the tagline "¡HA REGRESADO… Y YA CASI ES HORA!" (He is Back… And It's Almost Time!)
TV
There have been reports of the film being shown on TV (presumably on ATA) at some point between January and June 1997 (a review was apparently published in the El Diario de la Pampa newspaper), but we have not been able to verify this. (It's possible this was actually a review of the VHS release.)
The Movie was however shown (projected from video?) at the British Arts Centre (see above) on 8 October 1998 at 7pm; this was in English without Spanish subtitles.
(In late 2009, the BAC hosted a series of Torchwood screenings: Torchwood at the BAC.)
Cable
The 1996 film was available again from February 1999 via the HBO OLE cable station.
TOM BAKER
Also shown on cable was a run of Tom Baker stories: these aired during 2002 on the Argentinian-based cable station Uniseries, which was also available in other South American countries - see that separate profile page for more details.
Argentina in Doctor Who
- The Doctor attended the Capablanca vs Alekhine 1927 World Chess Championship. (This was held in Buenos Aires, from 16 September to 29 November) (The Androids of Tara)
