The NEW SERIES: 2005 to ?
BroaDWcast documents the foreign transmissions of the original series (the first eight Doctors), from 1964 to the turn of the millennium. The relaunch of the series in March 2005 brought a whole slew of new sales to old and new foreign broadcasters, many of whom pre-purchased the series for 2005 transmission.
Many others picked up the series in 2006 and in later years. The task of cataloguing all of these screenings is too daunting to even consider at this stage, however much of the groundwork and research to late 2010 has been done by Benjamin F Elliott, and posted to his THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO online column.
We have however created 'sortable' tables recording the countries that have aired the new series, with the debut airdates given where known.
For a more detailed analysis of these transmissions, please refer to the THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO MARCH 2005 INDEX. (To make thing's easy, we've added a direct link to the TWIDW page in which each country appears for the first time in the guide.)
Much of the data has also been adapted from Wikipedia's list of "International sales"; we've done our best to verify all the listed stations.

CABLE AND SATELLITE
For some countries, particularly in Europe and south east Asia, the new Doctor Who was available on cable or satellite stations that served multiple countries at the same time; while some of the following also had a domestic station carrying the series (see above), for many, "pay-per-view" was the only means by which they could see the brand new series.
