Channel 3 (PBS)
- 21 November 1981: Premiered, Saturdays at 8pm. Stories would air out of sequence (usually the order in which the station received the tapes).
- After the first run of "out of order" Tom Bakers, the series was recycled but in the correct order, and was followed by Peter Davison stories.
- 7 November 1983: From this point on, the series screened episodically on weekdays at 11pm, with an "omnibus" of the same story on Saturdays.
- 23 November 1983: The Five Doctors airs.
- March 1985: The reissued package of 24 Jon Pertwee stories aired, followed by more Davisons, then the reissued William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton stories, then back to Baker.
- Around this time, the Saturday omnibuses fell out of sync with the weekday episodes.
- 1991: The repackaged 24 Jon Pertwee stories aired again around this time.
- The Saturday screenings were eventually dropped altogether. By that time the Bakers had been recycled at least three times, the Pertwees and Davisons twice, before the series was eventually dropped, circa 1991/2.
WUSF
Channel 16 (PBS)
- 1987: Screened the 17 repackaged William Hartnell stories.
- 1987 and 1998: The 24 repackaged Jon Pertwee stories aired a few times around these dates.
- 27 May 1995?: One of the editors of this site recalls glimpsing part of The Sun Makers late at night on a TV in the registration hall while attending a SF convention in Palm Harbor, Florida (north of Tampa) that weekend. The TV may have been tuned to WUSF, unless it was an off-air video recording playing on a closed-circuit system. (Other programmes also glimpsed were Babylon 5 and Red Dwarf. This can't have been the SCI FI channel, because Doctor Who had been dropped from its schedules in 1993.)
- March 1996: Episodes airing Saturdays and Sundays at 11pm.
