Texas

Doctor Who aired in these cities, on these channels:

Houston

KUHT

Channel 8 (PBS)

• 1978: The Tom Baker stories commence.

• Apparently this station started adding its own sound-effects and laughter-track to the broadcasts – such as a burping Skarasen (Terror of the Zygons).

• Compilations were screened on Sunday afternoons – but these were 90 minutes with commercials, necessitating in some heavy editing – for instance, the last 10 minutes of The Masque of Mandragora was chopped out.

• 1989: Screened the 24 repackaged Jon Pertwee stories.

• 1990: Season 26 of the Sylvester McCoy stories aired.
