February 2014
- 10 February: We've updated several sections on the Sierra Leone profile page to clarify the situation regarding Broadcasting House and which of the TV station buildings was damaged in 1999.

January 2014
- 15 January: Added a brief page for WSBE. Rhode Islanders, can you help? BroaDWcast@hotmail.com
- 8 January: I wish to make it clear to our readers that the "Is This the List of Found Episodes?" that was sent (anonymously?) to and published by Doctor Who Archive / Worldwide in November last year is NOT the text designed to prank hackers / snoopers that was 'hidden' in the source code in July. Nor is it the "placeholder text" that was also 'hidden' elsewhere on the site circa March.
- That "List" is clearly a fake designed to look like it was extracted from the Bicycling Chains source code. But it lacks the correct templates, formatting and layout coding required for this MediaWiki to function. Without the correct coding, text like that would be rendered a jumbled nonsensical mess -- as displayed HERE. There are also two sentences that contain phrasing which does not comply with the house-style adopted for the site.
- The distinction between the "placeholder" text (held since March 2013) and the "hacker / snooper prank" (added in July) has become muddied somewhat, and that is probably where much of the confusion lies.
- 3 January: Happy New Year! Tom Baker attended the Science Fiction Festival in Rotterdam in March 1976, which was covered by the press in the Netherlands.
