This page will list UPDATES and NEW pages added.
We would very much like BroaDWcast to also function as an index to Doctor Who clips on YouTube, especially USA pledge-breaks, convention footage and any foreign language clips. If you already know of or stumble across any, please send us the link.
- And don't forget, clicking on the AIRDATES
icon on the country profile pages will take you to the airdates summary for that country (N/S = Not Stated)
- We're on TWITTER. To "Follow" us, please 'click' here or via the link found in the "external sites" section of the left sidebar.
- We also have a dedicated forum and email address - see sidebar to the left.
October 2013
- 11 October: Following the incredible discovery of The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear, we'll be updating several pages in due course!
- 5 October: Update to Sierra Leone: clarification as to who owned the TV station at the time of the William Hartnell airings, coverage of the problems faced by the SLBS, and some background to the Broadcasting House complex has been added; we also offer a possible solution to "did The Savages get a repeat in 1982?"
September 2013
- 16 September: The mystery of when exactly the series moved to Wednesdays in April 1965 on Canada's CBC has been solved!
- 16 September: Major update to the Armed Forces Network profile, with expanded details on the screenings at US bases in the Philippines.
- 11 September: Updates to OETA. Were they the first station to show seasons 16-18?
- 3 September: We originally had listings for a run of Tom Baker stories in South Korea. On further investigation, those screenings in 1986 were actually on the American Armed Forces Network cable station and were also seen in Japan, Germany and the Philippines. Therefore, we have removed those listings from the South Korea page, and created a new profile page for the AFN with airdates for eight of the AFN stations.
August 2013
- 21 August: A Malaysian newspaper used a very strange synopsis with its 1986 listing for Meglos. We've now identified the story from which that synopsis came.
- 7 August: Did you watch Doctor Who in Indianapolis on WPDS? Did the show really only air for six weeks? Email us: BroaDWcast@hotmail.com
- 5 August: We're not a news site, but congratulations to Peter Capaldi on becoming the Twelfth Doctor!
July 2013
- 27 July: Updates to Nebraska Educational Telecommunications. First episode found eleven months earlier than previously thought.
- 23 July: 189 episodes added to the airdates list for Qube, including the first one and probably the last one. Qube was still showing Jon Pertwee episodes while other stations were buying Tom Baker episodes.
June 2013
- 29 June: We've added a commentary on Richard Molesworth's book "Wiped! Doctor Who's Missing Episodes (Updated Edition)" focusing on those 'facts' where our interpretation of and conclusions drawn from the same paperwork differs widely from Richard's.
- 26 June: I went back to Ohio ... and found airdates for WOSU and WOUB.
- 12 June: We've added some new information to the United States--1965-1969 and United States--1972 pages. The series was offered to US stations back in April 1965!
May 2013
- 30 May: We've made some corrections to the airdates in Australia for 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1993.
- 29 May: More newspapers for Libya have been accessed. The profile has been updated, but we are still none the wiser as to what aired and when.
- 21 May: The lists of airdates in Cleveland and Akron are complete. First airings for WFSU added.
- 17 May: First airings in Pensacola found, plus a full page TV Guide ad and a contribution from its artist.
- 10 May: We've made some corrections to the summary and airdates of the Australian repeats (Block 20: 1987-1988), specifically the repeats in Melbourne.
- 1 May: We've ... erm ... junked our cluttered Hartnell Junkings and Troughton Junkings pages, and replaced them with a combined set of tables showing possible "Bicycling Chains"
March 2013
- 21 March: UPDATES to:
- Lebanon - minor update and new TV listings clippings added
- Sierra Leone - general update, and lots of new TV listings clippings added
- 20 March: UPDATES to:
- Colombia - despite new information, we are still none-the-wiser as to what aired in 1987!
- Saudi Arabia - the NTSC broadcasts of Tom Baker stories might have been via satellite rather than on a local station
- 19 March: UPDATES to:
- Yugoslavia - what is the "Osveta Cybermena" and why have they created a "Svemirskom stanicom hara kuga"?
- 18 March: UPDATES to:
- 17 March: UPDATES to:
- 16 March: UPDATES to:
- We have found the elusive Tom Baker airdates in Venezuela.
- Since no airdates have been found for Peru, Guatemala and Dominican Republic, despite checking all available newspapers, we have come to the conclusion that the series did not air, and have adjusted the profiles, and removed the countries from the Story Guide and other tables accordingly.
- 15 March: UPDATES or REVISIONS have been made to:
- 14 March: We have added a NEW profile page and airdates table for Puerto Rico.
- 13 March: As hinted on the Broadcasts around the World page, there are a number of major -- and some minor -- updates coming soon. Stay tuned!

February 2013

January 2013
