Classic Doctor Who is on KBTC, the PBS station out of Tacoma. So, here is the KBTC Doctor Who schedule, featuring Tom Baker and Peter Davison as the Doctor.
Shout Factory is streaming the 2011 Australian K-9 series on its website and free streaming service. You can watch all twenty-six episodes at www.shoutfactorytv.com/series/k-9
Information about the show, including web editions of some out-of-print Doctor Who novels and new made-for-the-Internet stories, can be found at the BBC's Doctor Who website at bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/.
Want to see some of the websites shown or mentioned in the show, or that are otherwise part of the show?
The BBC's website has some made-for-internet stories. A new pre-Ecclesston ninth Doctor, played by Richard E. Grant, appears in the fortieth anniversary story, "Scream of the Shalka" (www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shalka/). The sixth Doctor meets up with the Cybermen in "Real Time" (www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/realtime/). The made-for-Internet version of "Shada," featuring Paul McGann as the Doctor, Lalla Ward as Romana, and John Leeson as K-9, is back, and can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shada/.
This is still Who-adjacent, but it's still important news for fans of 20th century BBC Sci-fi:
Coming next in the Doctor Who blu-ray collection:
The June 2025 Doctor Who pledge drive for KBTC blew well past its $20,000 goal, raising over $30,000 and assuring the show's continued run on the station for another six months.
After the conclusion of "The Reality War", we got this trailer for the spinoff miniseries, The War Between the Land and the Sea, most likely coming in 2026:
The January 2025 Doctor Who pledge drive for KBTC was another success, easily surpassing the $20,000 goal for the night. Classic Doctor Who on the station is safe for another six months.
Coming soon to blu-ray:

Oh, hey, we're getting another missing story recreated with animation!
The Emerald City Androgums usually don't report on news about shows that aren't Doctor Who. But this announcement is important enough that it bears inclusion here:
KBTC is now streaming live online! If you live in the viewing area, but can't get the station over the air or via your local provider, go to www.pbs.org/livestream/, and you can then watch the channel!
With PBS recently turning fifty, CBS Sunday Morning did a profile. You may recognize some of the people seen during a fundraiser about ninety seconds in. Here's the link to the piece.
A lost Doctor Who episode is back—but it wasn't found. Students and staff at the University of Central Lancashire recreated the 1965 episode, "Mission to the Unknown", a Doctor-less episode that served as a teaser for "The Daleks' Masterplan" (and a way to fill out the recording block when they ran an episode short, without having to pay the regulars more). You can view it here:
The latest news about the new show can be found at Doctor Who News (as you might expect).
The Emerald City Androgums are a fan club devoted to Doctor Who, and to having as much fun as unhumanly possible at our meetings. We meet every other month for an Androgum potluck. Members are encouraged to eat, drink, and be merry, and we watch whatever shows tickle our fancy. We try to include at least one selection of the good Doctor himself.
In addition to semi-regular parties, we also had a newsletter that tried to keep the more isolated-from-fandom members up-to-date on the latest Who happenings and rumors. It also served as a creative forum for any Androgum who felt like writing a story or drawing a picture.
The newsletter is no more, however, and all newsletter activities will soon move on-line. So if you want to contribute something, here's the place to do it!
We can scan art, so if you'd like to help us create an on-line Androgum gallery, please feel free to send the art to us!
And coming soon: Club T-shirts and aprons!
