This page will list UPDATES and NEW pages added after Launch Day.

We would very much like BroaDWcast to also function as an index to Doctor Who clips on YouTube, especially USA pledge-breaks, convention footage and any foreign language clips. If you already know of or stumble across any, please send us the link.

  • And don't forget, clicking on the AIRDATES Airdates icon icon on the country profile pages will take you to the airdates summary for that country (N/S = Not Stated)
  • We're now on TWITTER. Please 'click' here - or in the external sites panel on the left sidebar - to follow us for updates and other information about the site.
  • We also have a dedicated forum and email address - see sidebar to the left.


June 2012

  • 18 June 2012: If the names Jim Dator and Judith Merril mean anything to you, head on over to the TVO page for some audio clip files.
SFX 221
  • 16 June 2012: Some additions to the Arabic and Spanish pages, to clarify who made the foreign language dubs.
  • And since we'll always grab the opportunity for some free publicity, thanks are due to SFX magazine for the 'review' and plug in issue #221 (cover dated June 2012).
  • 13 June 2012: The United States pages have been reorganized, giving each market its own page. A byproduct of this change is that we can now account for stations that covered more than one state. Did you watch Doctor Who on a station in another state? Let us know: BroaDWcast@hotmail.com
  • 7 June 2012: Begining run of KBDI added.
  • 5 June 2012: Updates to Australia; The Brain of Morbius omnibus did screen in Adelaide in 1978 (two years ahead of the rest of the country), and we can also confirm that The Crusade was not repeated in that same region in 1966 or 1967. The bizarre order in which the 1966-67 Adelaide repeats aired has also been confirmed.


May 2012

  • 29 May 2012: UPDATE to Saudi Arabia, regarding the Tom Baker stories screening on two different channels.
  • 24 May 2012: Listen to an interview with Jon Preddle at Cultdom Collective (a direct download), where he discusses the origins of BroaDWcast, talks about foreign broadcasts and missing episodes... (It runs for 1 hour 41 minutes.)
  • 23 May 2012: A few updates to the Australia airdates, particularly Adelaide.
  • May the 4th Be With You!: Coincidentally (!) we've added a new index page for the Peter Cushing Dalek movies, as well as given some uniformity to how we cover the films on the country profile pages.
  • We've also given the UK-based Cable and Satellite stations their own profiles, and expanded the Airdates for some of them:
  • 1 May 2012: Lots of updates to Australia pages. Thanks to Matt for supplying more Melbourne airdates, and spotting errors in our Sydney listings.


April 2012

  • 29 April 2012: We're slowly working our way through and tidying up the pages, some of which were getting a bit cramped or cluttered. As part of the spruce up, we've changed the way we handle YouTube clips: instead of an external link, we've imbedded the frame into the page, so the clips can now be viewed in-site.
  • 28 April 2012: WETA announces a new subchannel, WETA UK, that will be showing "vintage Doctor Who", but apparently that means Doctor #9.
  • 22 April 2012: Some NEW pages and UPDATES:
  • 12 April 2012: Houston, hello! Airdates for KUHT added.
  • 12 April 2012: Some new YouTube items added to the Australia profile page.
  • 11 April 2012: The long-awaited Profile, Transmission History and Airdates pages for Australia have now been ADDED (seventeen new pages in total!).
    • NOTE: There are still a lot of airdates missing for Perth and some of the other regions. If you are able to help fill in some of these gaps, you know where to find us.
    • Also added are associated profiles on Papua New Guinea and BBC Sydney.
  • PHOTO MYSTERY - SOLVED!!!: The mystery photo of JNT appears to have been taken at a signing at Chicago's New Fantasy Shop in February 1983. Photos from the same event appear on pages 28-29 of the Radio Times 20th Anniversary Special. (See our List of Conventions in the United States.)
  • 3 April 2012: UPDATE to Canadian station YTV to clarify the sequence of repeats.
  • 2 April 2012: UPDATE to Colombia; we have found a short run of episodes in 1987, but are still no closer to solving whether any Peter Davison episodes aired...


March 2012

  • 23 March 2012: We love Italy so much, yes, we've made some more changes! Check out the Italian Tom Baker doll!
  • 22 March 2012: List of Conventions in the United States added. We need your help. Do you have con booklets or ads? Email us: BroaDWcast@hotmail.com
  • 22 March 2012: Additional screenings have been found for Italy - station Teleadige aired omnibus editions in 1992 and 1993; these were probably relayed off BBC Prime, or maybe even UK Gold. Can anyone clarify whether UK Gold's coverage extended outside the UK?
  • 21 March 2012: Brand NEW profile added for Monaco; and because of the direct links with that country and Italy, yes, we've made some MORE changes to that profile, too!
  • 20 March 2012: ANOTHER UPDATE to Italy! We have changed a few things to clarify the situation regarding the screenings in Monaco - a profile which will be added shortly.
  • 20 March 2012: UPDATE to Italy; we now have details of a run of 1981 repeats, plus some new illustrations, including the Italian Dalek icecream!
  • 13 March 2012: We love L.A.! Updates to KBSC and KCET
  • 12 March 2012: Michigan updates: WGPR and WCMU.
  • 8 March 2012: NEW profile added for Nepal; we have no transmission details.
  • 7 March 2012: Some amendments made to Nigeria; there is still uncertainty as to which station The War Machines aired on.
  • 3 March 2012: Some amendments made to: Hong Kong (new comments about the 'extra' three airdates in 1966/67); and Gibraltar (to relocate The Dominators to its correct position after The Wheel in Space in the summary and Airdates table).


February 2012

  • BroaDWcast gets an acknowledgement on page 4 of the most recent issue (#444) of Doctor Who Magazine. In the first of a two-part article, Richard Molesworth valiantly makes some sense out of BBC documentation recording the foreign sales of the Hartnell and Troughton stories. The second part, covering the Jon Pertwee sales, features in the next issue, due in early March.
  • 28 February 2012: A 1972 repeat of William Hartnell episodes in Mexico now added to the Profile and Airdates Table.
  • 27 February 2012: WGPR added.
  • 21 February 2012: KCET updated. The United States page has been redesigned. All the information is still there, but it has now been spread out over several pages, allowing for better navigation and faster page loads.
  • 20 February 2012: Thanks to everyone who attended the BroaDWcast panel at Gallifrey One. We overran our alloted timeslot by 30 minutes -- we could have gone on all night.
  • 19 February 2012: BroaDWcast is ONE YEAR OLD TODAY! The site has grown and evolved significantly over the last twelve months. We thank you for your on-going support. We have lots of exciting things to add to the site over the upcoming months, including the full profile for Australia, some new information regarding Mexican and Caribbean broadcasts, additions to the Canada pages, plus a fully revamped profile on the United States.
  • On that note, there are several States and /or cities for which very little is known about the local broadcasts of Doctor Who. If you have access to PBS programme schedules, regional TV Guides and/or newspapers (either physical copies or on microfilm at a library) for those areas, or are willing to undertake research on our behalf, please drop us a line at: BroaDWcast@hotmail.com, or via our OFFICIAL FORUM on Gallifrey Base.

  • 6 November 2011: UPDATE to Spain - the Spanish actor who dubbed for Tom Baker has been identified!
  • 3 November 2011: We've made some minor corrections to Gibraltar, Singapore, Zambia and Uganda (and others) to fix layout errors or factual details brought to our attention by one of our readers. (Thanks Peter!)


October 2011

  • 28 October 2011: Additions to WILL, WFYI and KETC.
  • 24 October 2011: We've added a note on the William Hartnell stories page about cliffhanger endings, and how these could be edited to suit countries that didn't air all his stories.

  • Despite our valiant attempts to correct some of the long-standing but factually-incorrect fan-myths on their Doctor Who pages, Wikipedia mods refuse to accept BroaDWcast as being a "reliable source".

  • 10 October 2011: Detail about a potential run of repeats in 1991, a full run of repeats in 1995, some background notes regarding Jon Pertwee serials, and new pictures, ADDED to Germany.

  • 9 September 2011: Update to Singapore; we have now accessed all the papers that were previously missing, and confirm that Doctor Who is listed in each; which leaves no doubt that there was an extra episode in 1972; did Mission to the Unknown screen after all?
  • 8 September 2011: We have now ascertained that station WILL in Illinois aired the re-packaged Jon Pertwee stories in December 1984, two months ahead of New Jersey Network, who we previously had down as the debut station. The page for United States also amended accordingly.
