- 1981: It is reported in the Australian Doctor Who Fan Club newsletter, Data Extract (issue #7, dated September 1981), that "the rights to the first Davison season (the 19th) have been bought by a Cable TV network based in New York called the 'Entertainment Channel'. These rights are first run rights and they will not be offering the season for syndication for viewing throughout America until 1984." However, Doctor Who is not mentioned in any of TEC's 1982 print ads or TV listings. DE's news report (presumably taken from another publication) was either incorrect, or the exclusive sale to TEC fell through.
- The Entertainment Channel merged with the ARTS Network in 1984 to form the Arts & Entertainment Network (A&E).
