Earlier than that Time Life first syndicated Doctor Who starting in 1972 with Jon Pertwee episodes. We got it Sunday Morning at 10 AM in the mid 70's. Those were syndicated from 72-78. Then the Tom Baker shows in 1978

It's kind of odd that there's no mention of Howard Da Silva in those pages. For anyone who hasn't heard about this: when these episodes first aired in America, Time-Life added new voice-over narration by the American actor Howard Da Silva to the opening and closing of each episode, so at the start we'd get a recap of the previous installment and at the end we'd see a preview of the next chapter. This may have been done out of fear that American viewers accustomed to self-contained stories would be confused by serialized adventures. Or maybe because local channels could be pretty reckless about schedule changes, so they were concerned about viewers missing episodes and becoming lost. Anyway, since adding Da Silva was a selling point of the American syndication package to make the show more accessible for viewers this side of the pond, I'm surprised they don't even mention that here.

Funny how none of those many words and pictures were sufficient to communicate the show's peculiar charms. You just had to see it for yourself.
