==Television Stations / Channels==

After a slow start in '''August 1972''', but not really kicking off until '''August 1978''', the series has aired on a multitude of commercial, non-commercial, independent, network affiliated, cable and [[wikipedia:PBS|PBS]] stations ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PBS_member_stations Current PBS member stations]) in all but a few of the states.

From 1972 to 1981, the series was distributed by '''[[wikipedia:Time-Life Television|Time-Life Films/Television]]''', the film and TV division of '''[[wikipedia:Time Life|Time-Life Inc]]'''. From 1981, the distributor was '''Lionheart Television International Inc'''.

*See also [[Korea (South)]] where '''Doctor Who''' aired on American Forces Network TV.

==[[BBC Records]]==

'''The Seventies''' records a sale of '''"(13)"''' stories by 28 February 1977. This tally is for the first batch of [[Jon Pertwee stories]] sold from 1972.

'''The Eighties''' [http://www.shillpages.com/howe/b-dw80s.htm - THE LOST CHAPTERS] records a sale of '''"(118)"''' stories (by 10 February 1987). This tally is made up of:

*'''41''' [[Tom Baker stories]]
*'''20''' [[Peter Davison stories]]
*'''11''' [[Colin Baker stories]]
*'''17''' [[William Hartnell stories]] – back catalogue
*'''5''' [[Patrick Troughton stories]] - back catalogue
*'''11''' [[Jon Pertwee stories]] - back catalogue

*The story was not dubbed for screening in any [[Spanish]] or [[Arabic]] language countries. And like [[The Reign of Terror]], [[The Crusade]] and [[The Time Meddler]], the prints were not kept.
*[[Cyprus]] sent its prints to [[Hong Kong]].
*Episodes one and two were sent from [[New Zealand]] to [[Iran]] on 20 October 1967. But [[Iran]] did not sceen the story. (The films must have been provided as "auditions".) Did [[Iran]] send these to [[Ethiopia]]? And did [[New Zealand]] send the other five episodes to [[Ethiopia]]?
*The empty film can for the [[New Zealand]] print of episode seven was found in a film storage facility in the early 1990s.

[[File:broadwcast.png|center|900px]]

Welcome to '''BroaDWcast''', the first (and so far only, at least that we know of) comprehensive online guide to the foreign airdates and worldwide transmissions of '''Doctor Who'''.

Over the years, the BBC has claimed that "'''Doctor Who''' has been seen by 100 million viewers in 60 countries around the world".

But who were these 60 countries? When did '''Doctor Who''' screen there? What stories were broadcast, and what stories weren't? And do any of those 110 million viewers have a copy of missing story [[Marco Polo]]?

In '''BroaDWcast''' you'll find the answers to these questions - and more (except for the bit about [[Marco Polo]]).

In these pages, you will find:

*Profiles on the 70+ countries where classic '''Doctor Who''' aired between the years 1964 and 1997
*Airdates
*Episode titles in foreign languages
*Images of TV listings from foreign newspapers and magazines
*Translations of some of the [[Arabic]] version narrations
*Checklist of the official BBC Records that has been researched

=='''Your help is needed'''==

As with any research of this nature, there are gaps in the information - and perhaps even errors. If you can assist us in any way by filling in any of the gaps, or if you've got additional information, such as foreign newspaper articles, clippings, copies of TV listings, or sales literature that we can use, or if you spot something that is wrong or you plain just disagree with, please drop us a line at:
