The dates and times come from the TV listings in the Guardian, from the scans in the online archive ( more details at the end of the page). "nil" indicates that the date shown has been checked but Prisoner is not listed for that region on that date. I have indicated in brackets what was showing in Prisoner's usual spot.

Listings are from the Guardian online archive. Thanks to Mr Solo5 for identifying the episodes broadcast on Westcountry for the whole year.

Previous research derived from the listings in The Times and local newspapers are summarised on a now deleted page on wikipedia. This gives ranges of episodes shown in each region in 1996 as:-

Anglia: 674 to 692 = 19 episodes (matches table above)
HTV: 669 to 692 = 24 episodes. There are 25 episode listings in the table above but this cancels out with one too few for 1995.
Carlton: 500 to 53?
Westcountry: 560 to 642 = 83 episodes. There are 84 episode listings above, which is consistent with (685) being shown out of sequence. Thanks to Mr Solo5 for this information.
Meridian: 436 to 480 = 45 episodes. Even though this matches the table above, I have not put in the episode numbers as they do not match the known dates for (463) and the other Edna Pearson episodes. Also, the half hour slot for 10 Sep 1996 would make sense if they showed the cut version of (469) but they showed the full uncut version.
Tyne Tees: 589 to 674 = 86 episodes (no listings for this region in Guardian archive)
Yorks: 589 to 674 = 86 episodes. Thanks to pcoveruk for spotting a missing listing that made this match up and a list of dates for episodes 601 to 621 that match the ones given above.
Grampian: 684 to 692 = 9 episodes (no listings for this region in Guardian archive)
Ulster: 455 to 513 = 59 episodes. There are no listings for this region in Guardian archive so thanks to Mark Moorhead for sending dates for the 1996 episodes taken from his diaries.
Scottish: ? to 692 (no listings for this region in Guardian archive)
