Debut of Troughton episodes in the US, on NJN from 1 February 1986 issue of the Network Guide
New Jersey Network
Network: PBS Channel(s): various
First airing: 1983 Last airing: 1994
== AIRDATES ==


A network of four channels covering the state:

WNJS (Camden)
WNJM (Montclair)
WNJT (Trenton)
WNJB (New Brunswick)

The station was also carried on all cable systems in New Jersey and many in neighboring New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

  • 7 September 1985: The 17 repackaged William Hartnell stories make their US debut on NJN, on Saturday, 9.00pm, in omnibus "movie" format.
  • 26 October 1985: The Colin Baker stories make their US debut on NJN, screening one full story on the last Saturday of each month. (This means that the Bakers play between Hartnell and Troughton runs of episodes.)
  • 1 February 1986: The repackaged five Patrick Troughton stories make their US debut on NJN, weekly at 9pm on Saturdays. (The series aired on Saturdays at 9.00pm during the whole year.)
  • 22 February 1986: By design or purely coincidentally, The Two Doctors plays during the Troughton run.
  • 5 April 1986: After the debut of the Troughton stories, NJN aired omnibus editions of the Jon Pertwee stories in the usual Saturday 9pm slot.
  • 19 April 1986: A transmission error occurred during The Ambassadors of Death: with 15 minutes or so left in the story, the screen faded to black and the end titles started. The station later showed the last 15 minutes three weeks later, after The Mind of Evil.
"The Making of Dr Who Special", 19 November 1988
  • 19 November 1988: Following a screening of Dragonfire (7.00 to 8.30pm), Channel 50 screens "The Making of Doctor Who Special" (from 9.00 to 10.00pm), another of the specially-commissioned behind the scenes / interview specials produced by the Network. This one goes behind the scenes during the making of Silver Nemesis. This was followed by The Five Doctors from 10.30 till midnight.
  • 3 March 1990: Season 26 of the Sylvester McCoy stories makes its US debut, with the four stories played in production order.
  • 5 September 1992: The week after the Marathon, the series moves to an earlier 5.00pm timeslot.
  • 13 August 1994: After over ten years of almost uninterrupted screenings of Doctor Who, the New Jersey Network drops the series; the final story to be broadcast is The Deadly Assassin. The reasons cited for this are declining viewers, dwindling donations and increased residual payment demands made by Lionheart.
  • In the final years, stories were played episodically, rather than as omnibus "movies", weekly at 11.00pm.
  • Between 1983 and 1994, NJN enjoyed runs of every surviving full story at least twice, with the Tom Baker stories played as many as six times.
