*'''8 September 1973''': A single billing for "Dr Who" appears in the TV Guide and several Florida newspapers for this Saturday, with a start time of 1pm - but the publications don't all agree on the end time - some say 1.30pm, but others have 2.00pm, so it was one episode, or two. No other billings can be found, despite WPLG appearing in [[BBC Records]] as one of the first stations to buy the initial package of 13 [[Jon Pertwee stories]] by '''November 1972'''. It's more than likely that WPLG did plan to show the series starting from this date, but those plans changed, and the 72 episode run was replaced with something else.
