Jamaica began its television service in 1963.
 
 
 
There is just one television station: '''[[wikipedia:Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation| Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC)]]''', a government-owned commercial broadcaster.
 
 
 
Colour transmissions began in 1975 using the [[Wikipedia:NTSC|NTSC]], however '''Doctor Who''' never screened in Jamaica in colour.  
 
 
 
 
 
==Language/s==
 
 
 
The principal language of Jamaica is English.  
 
 
 
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO IN JAMAICA'''==
 
 
 
Jamaica was the '''14th''' country to screen '''Doctor Who''' (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]). It was the '''third''' in the [[:Category:Caribbean|Caribbean]].
 
 
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
The '''Stanmark Productions Ltd''' advertisement from 1966, identifies Jamaica as one of the '''twelve''' countries screening '''Doctor Who''' in that year.  
 
  
'''The Seventies''' records a sale of '''"(16)"''' stories by 28 February 1977. '''The Handbook''' identifies these as being: {{A}}, {{B}}, {{C}}, {{D}}, {{E}}, {{F}}, {{G}}, {{H}}, {{J}}, {{K}}, {{L}}, {{M}}, {{N}}, {{P}}, {{Q}, {{S}}.

Jamaica therefore bought all of GROUPs A to E of the [[William Hartnell stories]].

[[File:PertweeOgronsz.jpg]]
The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with English soundtracks.
 
 
 
====Origin of the Prints?====
 
 
 
[[Trinidad & Tobago]] and [[Bermuda]] are two other Caribbean nations that screened the series only a matter of months earlier than Jamaica; all three countries were serviced by the programme distributor '''Television International Enterprises Limited''' (see [[WRTH]]), so it’s more than likely that Jamaica was sent the same set of prints that had been used in one or both of those countries.
 
 
 
 
 
==Transmission==
 
 
 
===[[William Hartnell stories|WILLIAM HARTNELL]]===
 
 
 
The series commenced '''3 March 1966''', and screened weekly on Thursdays at 6.00pm.
 
 
 
A couple of episodes were pre-empted due to sporting events coverage, such as cricket, or the Commonwealth Games (in August 1966). For this reason two episodes of [[The Keys of Marinus]] aired back to back on '''4 August 1966''', a fact mentioned in the TV Highlights page of the paper.
 
 
 
From '''10 September 1966''', the series moved to Saturdays (still at 6.00pm), with part six of [[The Keys of Marinus]].
 
 
 
In '''October 1966''', two episodes of [[The Sensorites]] screened back to back (with a timeslot of 5.45pm to 6.30pm), the only other instances in which episodes were doubled-up.
 
 
 
The run ended on Saturday, '''25 March 1967''', with part four of [[The Romans]].
 
 
 
Two years later on '''2 February 1969''', the series resumed, now on Sundays at 6.02pm. The first story was [[The Web Planet]]. After a 25 week run (no episode aired on Easter Sunday '''6 April 1969'''), the series came to a conclusion on '''20 July 1969''', with part four of [[The Time Meddler]].
 
 
 
There is no clear record that Jamaica screened '''Doctor Who''' again.
 
 
 
====Fate of the Prints?====
 
 
 
The next [[:Category:Caribbean|Caribbean]] country to air '''Doctor Who''' was [[Barbados]], from April 1966. Since both countries were serviced by the programme distributor '''Television International Enterprises Limited''' (see [[WRTH]]), it is likely that Jamaica sent its prints of the 1966-1967 run of Hartnell stories to [[Barbados]].
 
 
 
 
 
==TV listings==
 
{{airdates-left|}}
 
 
 
TV listings have been obtained from the Kingston, Jamaican newspaper, ''The Daily Gleaner'' and ''Sunday Gleaner''.
 
 
 
Listings initially gave the series name as '''"Dr Who"'''.
 
 
 
Many of the listing were illustrated with a small photo of William Hartnell - one of these was a standard publicity shot, the other being taken from [[The Romans]]. None of the episodes was titled within the actual TV listings, but sometimes the title was named in the general TV pages.
 
 
 
On '''27 February 1966''', the Sunday paper featured a preview of the upcoming new series: '''"FOR LOVERS OF SCIENCE FICTION"'''. This same article names the first story as '''"Serial A"'''. A misprint also gave the title of the second episode as '''"The Cave of Sklls"'''.
 
 
 
And on the Sunday '''6 March 1966''' issue, a brief summary was illustrated with a photo of the crew standing around the TARDIS console.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==Jamaica in Doctor Who==
 
 
 
*In [[The Smugglers]], one of Captain Pike’s crew was called Jamaica.
 
*In [[The Highlanders]], Solicitor Grey was planning to ship the Scottish prisoners to work as slaves in Jamaica, [[Barbados]] and the West Indies.
