  • 1992: The new SCI-FI Channel buys the rights to Doctor Who, initially just the 106 available William Hartnell stories and Patrick Troughton stories. However, by the time the station goes to air in September 1992, the senior management had changed. The 106 black and white episodes were instead swapped for 106 Tom Baker stories, resulting in the cycle of episodes cycling from Robot part one to midway through season 16, then back to Robot...
  • 24 September 1992: The SCI-FI Channel launches, Thursday, 24 September, at 8.00pm (EST). Included in its regular schedules is Doctor Who, to be screened from 12.00 to 1.00pm, six days week. The hour-long timeslot is to allow for the episodes to screen uncut, but with ads and short programming filling the rest of the hour. That episode was then to be repeated at 1.00am.
  • Midway through season 16, the series looped back to Robot. This "jump" subsequently occurred two more times.
  • 1993, November: As part of a three-day 30th Anniversary "Event", The Five Doctors – the only non-Tom Baker story to screen on SCI-FI – K9 and Company and "The Making of Silver Nemesis documentary are aired - SIX times!
