| − | *BBC documentation records a sale of [[Jon Pertwee stories]] to '''"KGTV"''' by '''March 1974''', but despite our searching local TV listings from 1972 to 1974, we could find no evidence that '''Doctor Who''' had screened on any San Diego station. But it's possible this record is a misspelling of '''"KGTF"''', the station in [[Guam]] which '''did''' screen the series from 1972 to 1974.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *If the series did not air in San Diego in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s, that makes it the largest US TV market to never show '''Doctor Who'''.
