Doctor Who aired in these cities, on these channels:
Lexington
WTVQ
Channel 62 (ABC) (Channel number changed to 36 in 1980)
- 1978?: According to an early edit of Wikipedia, WTVQ was one of the first stations to broadcast the Tom Baker stories. 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. We feel sure that the series didn't reach Kentucky until 1980:
- 1980: The series did, however, begin airing by September 1980, as reported in Starlog issue # 39 (cover date October 1980).
Louisville
