They iPlayer and Disney+ episode release times are simultaneous.
So before, the USA & Canada got new Doctor Who episodes on the
Friday afternoon on Disney+, and the UK viewers had to stay up
until midnight or 1am on the Saturday morning to watch the
episodes on the BBC iPlayer.
Now, it's the North American viewers that have to wait until the
early hours of Saturday morning to watch the new episodes on
Disney+ and people in the UK can watch them from 8am on the
iPlayer.
A small difference but they seem to thing it's important... I'm
not sure the midnight iPlayer viewings were getting many viewers
beyond a few hardcore fans anyway. I tried it for the first few
episodes but gave up and just watched them when I got up or in
the afternoon.

UK is midnight on the west coast of the USA, This means that the worldwide release date is the same the world over apart from in Alaska and a
scattered handful of French and US

Makes you wonder why they don't simply release it on iPlayer at the same
time the episode is broadcast on normal TV.
Here in New Zealand some of the free-to-air networks have "exclusive"
shows on their streaming service first and then a few weeks or months
later they often appear on regular broadcast TV. Of course, people who watched it via streaming probably won't watch it again on broadcast TV,
so the blinkered morons in management will claim that broadcast TVDaniel70
doesn't get as many viewers as streaming, and eventually they'll just
shut down the broadcast channels. :-(--

Yeap!! Same Same here in Australia!! If you've Streamed it, why would
you bother watching it on T.V. .... Do the Advertisers on Streaming pay
more than on Free-to-Air T.V.??

Some people would say nobody watches "Doctor Who" on Disney+ and
those that do only watch it for two minutes before switching it
off to protect themselves from being sexually groomed... so if
that is a correct assessment, then "Doctor Who" doesn't have
that many viewers in those minor Pacific island groups anyway!
I'd like to think the show did have some appeal in that part of
the world though...
