==Population==
 
 
 
When '''Doctor Who''' screened in Mexico in 1968, the population was 39 million, and licensed TV sets numbered 1.8 million (per [[WRTH]], 1966).
 
 
 
In 1979 WRTH, it was DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
 
 
 
==TV & system==
 
 
 
Mexico began its television service in 1950.
 
 
 
There are many television stations: '''Televisa S. A.''' a government-owned
 
commercial broadcaster, which operated channel 5.
 
 
 
Colour transmissions began in 1963 using the [[Wikipedia:NTSC|NTSC]] colour broadcast system.
 
 
 
==Language/s==
 
 
 
The main language of Mexico is [[Spanish]].
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO IN MEXICO'''==
 
 
 
Mexico was the 25th country to screen '''Doctor Who'''. It was the second to screen the series in [[Spanish]] (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
'''The Seventies''' records a sale of '''9''' stories by 28 February 1977. '''The Handbook''' identifies these as being: {{A}}, {{C}}, {{E}}, {{F}}, {{G}}, {{J}}, {{L}} and {{Q}}. The total of 9 is due to Mexico being listed twice under {{J}}.
 
 
 
In '''DWM''', Mexico is identified in '''29''' story Archives: 12 Hartnells - the same as the 1977 list above, plus {{B}}, {{K}}, {{N}} and {{R}}; and 17 Tom Bakers: all the stories from {{4A}} to {{4Z}}, but omitting {{4A}}, {{4L}}, {{4R}}, {{4X}}, {{4Y}} and {{4Z}}.
 
 
 
In DWM 52 (xxx), a Mexican fan wrote a letter sating that: "dddddddddddd".
 
 
 
A website called DOCTOR WHO IN MEXICO [http//:] reveals some details about the screenings.
 
 
 
==Stories bought and broadcast==

Mexico therefore bought the standard package of the GROUP A to ?????E of the [[William Hartnell stories]] that were dubbed into [[Spanish]].
 
 
 
The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with [[Spanish]] soundtracks.
 
 
 
However, the website DOCTOR WHO IN MEXICO does suggest that the programmes may have been supplied on and broadcast from video tape, and that these tapes were wiped over with coverage of the Mexico Olympic Games!
