PLUTO TV is a US-based 24/7 online service; founded in 2013, it is currently owned by Viacom.

The free - but ad-supported - service is currently only available in the United States.

In April 2019 it was announced that Pluto TV had acquired the rights to Doctor Who, with the service showing a selection of over 200 episodes from the "Classic" series (the first seven Doctors only) - all for free on special "pop-up" channels (initially on channels 77 and 360, but mainly on 370).

To celebrate the series' 56th anniversary, from midnight 23 November 2019 Pluto had a Doctor Who Day Marathon, showing "all the Doctor's greatest adventures".

From 2020, the stories were available in story order.
