| − | * In the '''16 August 1978''' issue of ''Variety'' magazine (see [[United States--1978]]), "NORFOLK / HAMPTON" is named as one of 17 cities to have bought the series. WVEC is therefore one of the very first US stations to screen the [[Tom Baker stories]].
| |
| − | *We have yet to establish the first transmission date, but the series initially aired Monday to Friday, at 4.30pm for several months.
| |
| − | *After several months (when the station went onto a 24 hour schedule) the series was moved to a much earlier time (possibly 4.00am!).
| |
| − | *Episodes were often aired out of order. After several complaints about this appeared in local newspapers, the series was dropped sometime in late '''1979'''.
| |
| − | *'''Spring 1983''': The series returned, now at 7.00 to 8.00pm. The first story to air was [[The Invasion of Time]], followed by [[Robot]], and the stories cycled in sequence through to [[The Invasion of Time]] again.
| |
| − | *The first 23 [[Tom Baker stories]] were in re-runs until at least '''late summer 1983''', when it was dropped again (thus missing out in joining the nationwide screening of [[The Five Doctors]] in November 1983).
| |
| − | *The series never returned to WVEC.
