Doctor Who (PBS)

????

I don't think that's been a PBS "network" thing.. it's always your local affiliate airing it.

(I put network in quotes since AFAIK, PBS is more a loose affiliation than the other OTA networks.)

 

Yeah, Doctor Who isn’t distributed by PBS. Any individual station that carries it has its own individual contract with BBC Worldwide.

the only NEW episode I am expecting is the annual holiday special, which this year is slated for New Years Day instead of Christmas.

btw, my SPass did not have it scheduled. Look for "Revolution of the Daleks" on BBC-America (not PBS).

 

Note that PBS itself doesn't have broadcast rights for Doctor Who, although an individual public television station may have its own contract with BBC Studios.

So your individual station is probably responsible for providing the listing data to TiVo's guide division. PBS itself wouldn't be involved.

Correct, the proper name for the show is "Doctor Who" although the BBC was not always consistent about this on the classic series. (For many years they listed the main character as "Dr Who" in the credits.)
