OTHER CANADIAN STATIONS
The following Canadian TV channels also carried Doctor Who, but the number of broadcasts on each was only limited.
CPN (Saskatchewan) (1978-79)
Channel Profile
The COOPERATIVE PROGRAMMING NETWORK (CPN) was a closed circuit pay television service operated by a federation of cooperatives in Regina, Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw. The service was not licenced by the Canadian federal government. The station encountered severe technical and structural difficulties, and only lasted from late 1977 to early 1979. (It went into receivership in late 1978.)

JON PERTWEE?

TV listings
The Wikipedia entry for DOCTOR WHO IN AMERICA says: "There were also some local broadcasts of the series outside Ontario: for example, in 1978-79 a Saskatchewan-based pay-cable provider, CPN, aired Doctor Who episodes on its Just for Kids channel."
Going by the air-dates alone, these would have been Jon Pertwee stories as opposed to Tom Baker stories, and presumably came from the same selective package of 14 stories that aired on Canada TVO and Canada CKVU around the same time.
The programme would have been supplied as NTSC colour video tapes with English soundtracks.
We have not been able to find any broadcast details for Doctor Who on this station.
