OETA
Channel 13 (PBS) (Oklahoma Educational TV Authority)
- In the 16 August 1978 issue of Variety magazine (see United States--1978), "OKLAHOMA CITY" is named as one of 17 cities to have bought the series. The OETA is therefore one of the very first US stations to screen the Tom Baker stories.
- 7 October 1978: The standard package of 23 Tom Baker stories begins screening, in a 9.00pm timeslot, with two episodes airing back to back. Stories were aired out of order, with Robot followed by Terror of the Zygons.
- 30 May 1981: The Ribos Operation part 1 airs, Saturday, 10.00pm. The Oklahoma Educational TV Authority is the first US station to screen Tom Baker stories other than the original package of his first 23 stories (98 episodes) that had been on offer since 1978.
- This new package comprised seasons 16 to 18 (The Ribos Operation to Logopolis; 18 stories, 74 episodes) which had been released by the BBC in early-1981, just prior to Time Life's contract expiring and Lionheart taking over the distribution in the States.
- 14-16 August 1981: John Nathan-Turner and Peter Davison make their first-ever US convention appearances, in Tulsa. (Davison had just finished recording Kinda.) And thus the rot set in...
- 23 November 1983: The Five Doctors airs.
- 3 February 1986: Weekday airings move from 10pm to 5:30pm.
- 1987: In early 1987, airings shift from daily to Saturdays.
- fall 1987: The Caves of Androzani is the last episode aired by OETA. The network never purchased the McCoy, Hartnell or Troughton packages, opting instead only to run Baker and Pertwees.
