United States of America (table of States)
For the handful of States tagged ** we have no screening details at all. Even if the series wasn't broadcast by a local station in those, viewers might still have been able to see the series on a station transmitting from a neighbouring State. (The only exception to that would of course be Hawaii!)
BBC Repeats
The BBC repeated numerous episodes on its other terrestrial channels, such as on BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4, as well as on its own cable and satellite stations.
Cable and Satellite
Doctor Who aired on a number of Cable and Satellite stations and Online streaming platforms:
- HBO OLE cable station serving Central and South America
- Horror Channel
- Cable and Satellite stations which served Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia, such as:
- US Cable Stations
and on Online streaming platforms, such as:
Relayed Broadcasts
Several countries in Western Europe only saw Doctor Who on UK satellite channels and/or from transmissions received from a neighbouring country:
Likewise, several countries in Central America and South America only had the series on satellite channels, or via transmissions from a neighbouring country:
Doctor Who was not sold per se to these broadcasters, but the series was officially available because transmissions were relayed from another country:
- American Virgin Islands (relayed from Puerto Rico)
- British Virgin Islands (relayed from Puerto Rico)
- Papua New Guinea (relayed from Australia)
- Saint Lucia (relayed from Barbados)
- Satellite stations broadcasting from the south-eastern United States could be received in a number of the smaller islands in the Caribbean, such as the Dutch Antilles.
- From the late 1990s, the US cable and satellite station BBC America was also available in a number of the smaller Caribbean countries, such as the Cayman Islands, Grenada, Bonaire, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten. It was also available on the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific.
See also the section on the Middle East - the Arabic countries of the Persian Gulf received TV broadcasts from their neighbours.
Other Countries
Although Doctor Who did not screen on television in these countries or territories, it was known there because of the Peter Cushing Dalek movies, the 1996 TV Movie, or novelisations, videos and other merchandise that was available:
Countries Unconfirmed
The following countries apparently screened the series - or just the TV Movie - but the only "evidence" is anecdotal rather than from any official BBC Records or other reliable sources, and for which no airdates have been located:
Regions
Each country falls into one of eight continents or global regions:
