==Television Stations / Channels==
 
 
 
Republic of (South) Korea began its television service in 1956.
 
 
 
*Station: '''American Forces Korea Network''' / '''Nickelodeon'''
 
 
 
*Channels: Seoul (ch 2); Pusan (2); Taegu (12); Taejon (12); Kwangju (13); Wonju (2)
 
 
 
This station was owned by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Forces_Network#Korea AMERICAN FORCES NETWORK], established in South Korea in 1957.
 
 
 
All programming on AFKN is in English.
 
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO IN SOUTH KOREA'''==
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
In '''DWM''', Korea is identified in the story Archive for {{BBB}}, with a date of 1977.
 
 
 
Other BBC paperwork indicates that the sale of serial {{CCC}} made to Korea at the same time as the sale of the same serial to [[Japan]] was subsequently "CANCELLED", and the fees recouped. As there were no TV listings found for '''Doctor Who''' from 1972 to 1985, we can safely accept that the sale of {{BBB}} was also cancelled, and screenings of [[Jon Pertwee stories]] did not proceed.
 
 
 
In '''The Eighties''' - [http://www.shillpages.com/howe/b-dw80s.htm THE LOST CHAPTERS], records a sale of '''"(4)"''' stories to '''Korea Republic''' by 10 February 1987. These sales apply to the (more than four!) [[Tom Baker stories]] that aired in 1986.
 
 
 
==Stories bought and broadcast==
 
 
 
===[[Tom Baker stories|TOM BAKER]]===
 
 
 
'''Doctor Who''' screened in omnibus movie format on Saturday mornings, on the '''[[wikipedia:Nick_(Korea)|Nickelodeon]]''' cable channel link-up with AFKN-TV. 
 
 
 
The first clear listing for '''Doctor Who''' is on 5 April, with a timeslot of 9.45am to 12.00 given for the 6-parter, [[Genesis of the Daleks]]. However, all subsequent listings are for 10.20am to 12.00, even for [[The Seeds of Doom]], which is also a 6-parter.
 
 
 
The last clear listing for '''Doctor Who''' is on 28 June 1986, with [[The Robots of Death]]. All subsequent listings just say '''Nickelodeon''', with the same 10.20 to 12.00 timeslot, so we can only assume that '''Doctor Who''' continued airing, and stopped from 29 November, when the billings for '''Nickelodeon''' stop.
 
 
 
As noted above, '''The Eighties''' records a sale of only '''"(4)"''' stories, which is clearly inaccurate.
 
 
 
There is no record that South Korea screened '''Doctor Who''' again.
 
 
 
==TV listings==
 
 
 
We have viewed the English language newspaper ''Korean Herald'' for all of 1972 through to all of 1984, and there were no listings for '''Doctor Who'''; the [[Jon Pertwee stories]] did not air. (Other BBC programmes that did air at that time were '''I, Claudius''' and '''The Goodies'''.)
 
 
 
The ''Korea Times'', however did contain some listings for the [[Tom Baker stories]] in 1986.
 
 
 
The first listing with the 10.20m to 12.00 timeslot headed '''Nickelodeon''', was on 15 March 1986. Three weeks later, on 5 April, the first billing for '''Nickelodeon: Dr Who''' appears, with a listing for [[Genesis of the Daleks]], which supports that the series did indeed start on 15 March.
 
 
 
Listings are inconsistent: they either say '''Nickelodeon: Dr Who''' with the story title, or they just say '''Nickelodeon''', albeit with the same timeslot. And for three listings in September and October there are no TV listings for programmes prior to noon.
 
 
 
The last '''Nickelodeon: Dr Who''' listing is on 22 November 1986. Assuming '''Doctor Who''' aired on the dates with no listing, then 37 "movies" aired. It is impossible to determine what where the other stories to air, but if we assume that there were no repeats, and no stories were skipped, then the final story may have been [[Full Circle]].
