 ==Summary==
 The '''''CBC Times''''' was the official CBC program guide for their transmitters. Each time zone had its own edition; while the general content of each was (mostly) identical, the TV schedule pages were of course different.
 The CBC Times provided detailed episode titles and episode descriptions for each '''Doctor Who''' broadcast providing definitive proof as to which episode was aired on each date.
-This information likely came from a press kit that was distributed to TV stations and newspapers with summaries provided by BBC Enterprises in Toronto. In addition to the plot summaries, the press kit must have included a number of promotional newspaper articles announcing the start of each new '''Doctor Who''' serial along with story details. These “stock” articles were carried by the ''Winnipeg Free Press, Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa Journal'' and ''St. John’s Evening Telegram''. Samples of these articles can be found on the various sub-pages for our Canadian broadcast profile.

 This was a fair amount of press exposure for a youth series which seems to indicate that the series was being heavily promoted by the CBC.

-Page seven of the '''23-29 January 1965''' issue of the ''CBC Times'' published in the western provinces only contained a full-page warning to viewers about a new series called '''Doctor Who'''. Issued by the CBC Head Office, this mock memo urged viewers to watch out for the Doctor, who may influence young minds. The article was illustrated with photo of William Hartnell and an image taken from [[The Sensorites]] — a story that was never aired by the CBC!
