The '''[[wikipedia: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)]]''' is a publicly-owned network, operating numerous affiliated stations and relay transmitters across the whole of Canada.
  
Canada has a number of major television networks providing broadcasts across the country. It also has several hundred small privately owned commercial stations.  
+
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.

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:

Toronto Globe & Mail, 23 January 1965
Winnipeg Free Press, 18 April 1965

Winnipeg Free Press,13 June 1965 preview
A An Unearthly Child 4
B The Daleks 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.

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.
