Channels 23 / 50 / 52 / 58 (PBS)

A network of four channels covering the state.

  • 1985: Channel 50 screens the series episodically on a weekly basis, with a complete 'movie' Saturday nights.
  • 7 September 1985: The 17 repackaged William Hartnell stories make their US debut on NJN, on Saturday, 9.00pm, in omnibus "movie" format.
  • 26 October 1985: The Colin Baker stories make their US debut on NJN, screening one full story on the last Saturday of each month. (This means that the Bakers play between Hartnell and Troughton runs of episodes.)
  • 22 February 1986: By design or purely coincidentally, The Two Doctors plays during the Troughton run.
  • 1986: The series aired on Saturdays, at 9.00pm, during the year.
  • 9 January 1988: The NJN-produced special "Doctor Who Then & Now" airs.
  • 19 November 1988: After playing Dragonfire, the NJN screens "The Making of Silver Nemesis", another of several specially-commissioned behind the scenes / interview specials produced by the Network.
  • 30 March 1990: Season 26 of the Sylvester McCoy stories makes its US debut, with the four stories played in production order.
  • 23 May to 29 August 1992: A 15-week Marathon of Dalek and Cybermen serials - but not The Tomb of the Cybermen, which is deemed too expensive!
  • 5 September 1992: The week after the Marathon, the series moves to an earlier 5.00pm timeslot.
  • 13 August 1994: After over ten years of almost uninterrupted screenings of Doctor Who, the New Jersey Network drops the series; the final story to be broadcast is The Deadly Assassin. The reasons cited for this are declining viewers, dwindling donations and increased residual payment demands made by Lionheart.
  • Between 1983 and 1994, NJN enjoyed runs of every surviving full story at least twice, with the Tom Baker stories played as many as six times.
