CBC (1965)
Channel Profile
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a publicly-owned network, operating numerous affiliated stations and relay transmitters across the whole of Canada.
Canada stretched across five time zones; each channel broadcast its own schedule of programmes, but via the microwave network they were often able to also screen the same programme at the same time.
An alternative method was that for some shows the CBC made film copies to be distributed to each affiliate.
Another distribution method was that one station would transmit while others in the chain would tape the transmissions for later playback.
It is not known which of these methods was used with Doctor Who nation-wide in 1965; but it is not unreasonable to assume there may have been multiple copies of Marco Polo in circulation in May and June...
Stories bought and broadcast
WILLIAM HARTNELL
Five stories, 26 episodes:
| A | An Unearthly Child | 4 |
| B | The Daleks | 7 |
| C | Inside the Spaceship | 2 |
| D | Marco Polo | 7 |
| E | The Keys of Marinus | 6 |
CBC therefore bought GROUP A of the William Hartnell stories.
The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with English soundtracks.
Origin of the Prints?
The CBC would have received fre3sh set of prints form the BBC.
Transmission
The series started on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday, 23 January 1965, at 5.00pm (*). From 21 April, the series moved to Wednesdays (with the third serial), at the same time.
To coincide with the start of Vacation Time, the series shifted to weekday screenings, from Monday, 28 June to Friday, 2 July 1965.
CBC did not screen the original series again.
(*) Doctor Who screened at that same 5.00pm slot nationally (although CBWAT Channel 8 in Kenora aired it at 4.00pm). The series would have been broadcast centrally from Toronto and Montreal, but aired one hour 'earlier' in Halifax to the east, one hour 'later' in Winnipeg (CJAY-TV); two hours later in Alberta; and three in Vancouver in the west.
It was on CJAY-TV channel 7 in Winnipeg that Doctor Who script-editor Andrew Cartmel recalls having seen the series when he was young...
Fate of the Prints?
The Canadian prints may have been sent to Bermuda which was nearby, and also one to have screened only those five Hartnell serials.

TV listings have been obtained from the newspapers Globe and Mail from Toronto, and Winnipeg Free Press.
The papers called it both "Doctor Who" or "Dr Who". The Globe labelled it as "Juvenile" in the listings.
The Globe had a HIGHLIGHTS ON 6 preview of the new series. This paper carried listings for CBLT Toronto (CH 6) and CKVR Barrie (Ch 3), although from 28 June, when the series shifted to its new weekday slot, it was no longer listed under CKVR.
The paper covering the week of 18 April 1965 previewed Inside the Spaceship, which started on the Wednesday of that week, and the forthcoming serial, Marco Polo.
The Free Press carried general articles about the series, usually with th start of a new serial, or change of dtae.
Although the series was due to end of 2 July, none of the papers actually had a listing for Doctor Who at 5.00pm on that date.
