Cable and Satellite Stations

Doctor Who has aired on a number of cable and satellite stations over the years, and this was the only method by which some countries - particularly those in Europe - could view the series on a regular basis (albeit in English).



LATIN AMERICA

HBO OLE

Doctor Who aired briefly on this Latin America station:



IMAGEN SATELITAL

Imagen Satelital, a Latin American broadcaster, licensed season 13 (Tom Baker's second season) and possibly also some of the Leela stories from season 14, in 2001, and broadcast to:


TRANSMISSION

From 1 October 2001, the series was (probably) available on the following satellite channels:

Episodes aired on Sundays at 9:30pm, and again on Monday, at 4:30am!

The serials were broadcast in English but with Spanish subtitles, the first time this method was adopted; previously, broadcasts in Spanish-language countries were dubbed. It would seem that by 2001, the original dubbed tapes that were used from the late 1970s (and owned by Time Life / Lionheart) were no longer available.

Regular screenings had concluded by January 2003.



AUSTRALIA

Doctor Who screened on Australia's FOXTEL / UKTV from 1 August 1996.



UNITED STATES and CANADA

Doctor Who aired on several US cable channels in the 1980s and 1990s, while most of the Canadian broadcasts of the series were on cable:



UK STATIONS

Doctor Who aired on several domestic UK satellite stations, some independent, some owned by the BBC. They each have their own dedicated pages:



EUROPEAN STATIONS

Several European countries were able to receive Super Channel and BBC Prime, but one digital satellite station was established solely for the Scandinavian market:
