 Although Canada had an extensive microwave relay network for TV carriage, it did not reach everywhere. A number of smaller stations in Northern British Columbia, Northern Manitoba and Labrador had to rely on a package of kinescope films that were shipped from station to station via a bicycle system.  The fate of the kinescope recordings as well as the BBC supplied prints is of obvious interest.

Television service began on 6 September 1952 in Montreal and in less than a decade service stretched from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. A major milestone was achieved in 1958 with the completion of the national microwave relay network providing live CBC network feeds from coast to coast.

 It appears that '''Doctor Who''' episodes were repeated by station CFQC Saskatoon based on newspaper listings in Saskatoon and Regina.  It is possible that stations in smaller centers may have aired repeats as well and corroborating information from other newspaper sources is required. Newspaper TV listings for smaller centers such as Prince Albert, Swift Current and Yorkton is requested.
