  • 25 October 1977: WNED screened Doctor Who, weeknights at 6.30pm in tandem with WXXI (from 1977 through until 1987). It was during screenings of the Jon Pertwee stories in 1977/78 that off-air recordings were made by Tom Lundy, which were later instrumental in the reconstruction from black and white back into colour.
  • 1979: The series aired weeknights at 6.00pm.
  • 1990: In the 1990s, Doctor Who aired in omnibus movie form, Saturdays at 4.00pm. The 17 repackaged William Hartnell stories were played for the second time during this run.
  • 1991: By February 1991, Doctor Who had been dropped.
