Doctor Who aired in these cities, on these channels:
Boston
WGBH
Channel 2 (PBS)
- 5 January 1976: Doctor Who made its debut in Boston on Monday 5 January, a 7.30 to 8.30pm. The following week, 12 January, it was billed as a 'repeat', but it's not clear if that was actually the case. From 20 January, the series moved to Tuesday. The 10 February entry (the show aired at 8.30pm for this episode only) gives the following synopsis: "Plague spreads to London before Dr Who manages to find antidote", which is for Doctor Who and the Silurians, either episode five or six, depending on whether or not 12 Jan had been a repeat.
- From 10 April, the series moved to Saturdays, presumably to coincide with the start of a new story (Inferno?).
- The first run was completed by April 1977.
- 1984: The series aired week days at 7.00 to 7.30pm during September 1984.
