* '''1978?''': According to an early edit of [[wikipedia:Doctor_Who_in_Canada_and_the_United_States#The_1970s:_Doctor_Who_comes_to_the_United_States|Wikipedia]], WTVQ was one of the first stations to broadcast the [[Tom Baker stories]] (it was an ABC affiliate). But the state is not listed in the August 1978 issue of ''Variety'' (See [[United States--1978]]), and we have not found any airdates in late 1978 / early 1979. Tellingly, the reference to WTVQ has since been removed from the wikipedia section.

*'''1980''': It is reported in ''Starlog'' issue # 39 (cover dated October 1980) that the series had been sold to "WTVQ, Lexington, <i>[[Indiana]]</i>" (although WTVQ is actually a Kentucky station), however we have not been able to find any listings for that year either!

*According to a post on a Doctor Who forum in 2018, WTVQ ''did'' screen the series, weekday afternoons as direct competition to '''The Adventures of Superman''' which was playing on one of the other local stations. The poster recalls seeing [[Robot]], [[The Ark in Space]], [[Genesis of the Daleks]], and [[Terror of the Zygons]]. Within 6 to 9 months, it was moved into a late-night timeslot, and was later dropped; WTVQ never repeated the episodes or picked up any subsequent seasons. <!-- Link to FORUM post: http://www.zetaminor.com/roobarb/showthread.php?52540-DW-The-Collection-Season-12-(Blu-ray)&p=2353824&viewfull=1#post2353824 -->
