*The '''16 August 1978''' issue of ''Variety'' magazine (see [[United States--1978]]) lists "PROVIDENCE" as one of 17 cities to which the [[Tom Baker stories]] of '''Doctor Who''' had been sold. Presumably, this is Providence, Rhode Island. The only station serving that state known to have screened the series in 1978, was WTEV, a CBS-affiliated television station for Rhode Island and the South Coast of [[Massachusetts]], licensed to [[Massachusetts#New_Bedford|New Bedford, Massachusetts]], but headquartered in and operated from studios in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
 
*The [[Tom Baker stories]] had their US debut on WTEV on '''28 August 1978'''.
 
 
 
*In the '''March 1979''' issue of '''Starlog''' magazine (issue 21; cover dated April), a reader from East Providence, Rhode Island, wrote to say she had become hooked on '''Doctor Who''' with the [[Tom Baker stories]]. Presumably she was viewing the series from one of the [[Massachusetts]] stations.
