+
*'''21 January''': The (brief) complete run in [[South Dakota Public Broadcasting|South Dakota]] is added
*'''13 July''': Following on from our recent Canada Day updates, we bring the latest in our '''Before Doctor Who''' features. '''66 years ago this week''' the nascent [[CBC]] network agreed to screen an upcoming 6-part SF thriller, the first episode of which was due to be broadcast live in the UK on '''18 July 1953'''. But something happened, and the Canadian screenings never took place. We take a look at [[Quatermass Connection|Quatermass - The Canadian Connection]]...

*'''11 January''': Some of the documentaries and dramas made by [[Reeltime Pictures]] and [[BBV Productions]] have been shown on US and UK television. We have added new profiles for these two production companies. (And if anyone can confirm that the "PROBE" dramas did indeed screen on the UK [[Sci-Fi Channel Europe|Sci-Fi Channel]], please drop us a line!)
  
 
*'''1 July''': It's '''Canada Day!''' To celebrate, we'll be updating a number of our Canada pages over the next 24 hours - Stay tuned!
 
**First up, it's '''[[CKVU]]''' in Vancouver; we have found a number of additional early morning listings up to the beginning of 1983, as well as a handful of listings with story titles. We also investigate where the recovered tapes of [[Inferno]] came from ...
 
**We've deleted the old "Other Canadian Stations" page, but moved the contents to their own pages at '''[[Canada (CPN)|CPN]]''' and '''[[Canada (CITV)|CITV]]'''
 
**There's a brand new page for [[Canada (BBC Kids)|BBC Kids]], which aired a ten year run of repeats in the 2000s
 
**'''[[TVOntario]]''': Some new newspapers clippings. We've fixed a number of errors in the airdates listings (there were a lot more repeats than we thought!), plus added full details of the dubbed serials that also aired on the French-language channel, '''La Chaîne Française'''
 
**'''[[YTV]]''': Fully revised, now with a full summary of what aired and when, new Airdates page, and lots of new press clippings
 
 
 
=='''June'''==
 
*'''24 June''': Some further additions to the [[Korea (South)]] page: we've identified a '''''third''''' Korean comic strip.
 
*'''17 June''': Major update to [[Korea (South)]]: we now have clippings of the Korean TV listings which give the story titles (the ones stated on the Korean version of Wikipedia are incorrect); we identify the Korean actor who dubbed Jon Pertwee, and reveal a rare Korean comic strip based on the series! 
 
*'''15 June''': We've added a profile page for the new streaming service [[Pluto TV]].
 
*'''8 June''': Medium-sized update to the [[WTVS]] airdates table.

**We've created a new page for the [[Argentina]] cable station [[Uniseries]] with [[Airdates in Uniseries|Airdates]]; the [[:Category:Cable and Satellite|Cable and Satellite stations]] directory has been amended to accommodate the removal of the old "Imagen Satelitel" profile.
 
*'''11 May''': Airdates for [[Alabama Public Television]] added.
 
 
 
=='''April'''==
 
*'''30 April''': We've tidied up the [[:Category:Cable and Satellite|Cable and Satellite]] page, and expanded the Scandinavian station [[TV4 Science Fiction]] which has been moved to its own page. We've adjusted the [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[Norway]], and [[Sweden]] pages accordingly.
 
*'''29 April''': Updates to [[Poland]]: Clarification and attempt to make better sense of what aired (we've revised the list of stories that we think were shown); newspaper clipping for the Cushing movie in 1979 added.
 
*'''27 April''': Airdates for [[WYBE]] added.
 
*'''16 April''': New profile page for [[Sci-Fi Channel Europe]] and [[Airdates in Sci-Fi Channel Europe|Airdates]]. (Plus updates and tweeks made to [[Sci-Fi Channel]] USA and other page links to accommodate.)
 
*'''11 April''': Airdates for [[WNIT]] added.
 
*'''8 April''': Some episode titles are added to the [[KBSC]] table.

*'''5 April''': An earlier run of [[Jon Pertwee]] episodes is added for [[WVIA]].
 
 
 
=='''March'''==
 
*'''31 March''': Most gaps in [[New Jersey Network]] airdates page are filled in. '''NJN''' showed [[K-9 and Company]] four times, probably the most of any station.

*'''26 March''': Big update to [[WFSU]].
 
*'''23 March''': [[The Five Doctors]] aired on [[WLJT]] in Lexington, TN.  Did any other episode air?
 
*'''22 March''': An Indianapolis-based update: [[WFYI]] and [[WTBU]].  Channel 69, an independent station, aired the [[TV Movie|TV movie]] twice.
 
*'''17 March''': Airdates for [[WMFE]] in Orlando are added.  A page for [[WKCF]] in Orlando is added, but it's likely a false alarm.
 
*'''14 March''': Airdates for [[KCOS]] in El Paso, TX are added.  The listings for [[South Carolina Educational Television‎]] are updated.
 
*'''9 March''': [[KOCV]] in Odessa, TX is added.  Was KOCV really that indifferent to '''Doctor Who'''?
 
 
 
=='''February'''==

*'''5 February''': We've added details for the Tom Baker omnibus screenings on the [[Armed Forces Network|American Forces Network AFRTS]] station in [[Iceland]]. ['''ADDENDA: 11 Feb''': Some further info has subsequently come to hand, so we've made a few additional updates to this page.]
