- Issue # 19 of Whovian Times (Spring 1990) featured a long list of the PBS stations still carrying Doctor Who.

- The same issue reports that Lionheart's contract with PBS expires in 1992, and that the distributor was looking at cable stations, such as the up and coming Sci-Fi Channel or the Eastern Educational Network (EEN) to become the new home for the series. In the event, Sci-Fi Channel "won" the deal...
