  • BBC America is a digital cable and satellite television network in the United States which is jointly owned by BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks.
  • BBC America's focus is the broadcast of primarily British — but not exclusively BBC —content to the United States. Because it is not run by the BBC proper it has to pay for its content like any other American broadcaster. Its independent status also allows it to funnel some of its budget into new works, which has made it a co-production partner on several BBC shows, including Steven Moffat's Jekyll. In 2010, it became the first American network to pay for the actual production of Doctor Who since the Fox Broadcasting Company's support of the 1996 telefilm, when it signed on to co-produce the two American-based episodes of series 6. It also created a large range of original video content for its official series 5 Doctor Who website, and was the sole producer of The Ultimate Guide.
  • BBC America is a channel that broadcasts Primeval in America. It was part of the cost-sharing deal that allowed the revival of Primeval, along with ITV, Watch and ProSieben.
  • BBC America is an American television network, owned and operated by BBC Worldwide Americas, and available on both cable and satellite.
  • BBC America has some really strange programming guides, airing Doctor Who hopelessly out of order. New episodes are aired the same saturday they come out in Britain, but during the weekdays they air episodes seemingly at random in the mornings. Worse, Ecclescakes gets no love from BBC America, rarely getting any play unless as part of some kind of marathon (and not always then, either).
  • BBC America - цифровая кабельная и спутниковая телевизионная сеть в Соединенных Штатах Америки, которая является собственностью коммерческого дочернего предприятия британской общественного вещателя, ВВС.

  • In April 2010, BBC America aired Star Trek Generations, featuring British lead actors Patrick Stewart and Malcolm McDowell. Later that month, beginning on the 26th, the network began airing Star Trek: The Next Generation Monday through Friday at 8 pm and 11 pm EST. On June 3, 2014, BBC America became the first US broadcaster to air the re-mastered episodes from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 in high-definition. Season 2 re-mastered was eventually added starting November 11, 2014.

abstract
  • BBC America is a digital cable and satellite television network in the United States which is jointly owned by BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks.
  • BBC America has some really strange programming guides, airing Doctor Who hopelessly out of order. New episodes are aired the same saturday they come out in Britain, but during the weekdays they air episodes seemingly at random in the mornings. Worse, Ecclescakes gets no love from BBC America, rarely getting any play unless as part of some kind of marathon (and not always then, either). Worse than that, after the first airing, BBC America edits down the episodes by a few minutes to fit in more commercials, like nearly every channel in America does, the fuckers. Useless cruft they've cut out of episodes include such forgettable scenes as the Doctor in the lotus position on top of his Tardis saying "LISTEN", the Doctor telling a rabbit that he's the Oncoming Porn, Martha teleporting to Germany and meeting German speaking Daleks and such, the entire Italian family subplot from Turn Left, y'know, stuff that doesn't matter.
  • In April 2010, BBC America aired Star Trek Generations, featuring British lead actors Patrick Stewart and Malcolm McDowell. Later that month, beginning on the 26th, the network began airing Star Trek: The Next Generation Monday through Friday at 8 pm and 11 pm EST. On June 3, 2014, BBC America became the first US broadcaster to air the re-mastered episodes from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 in high-definition. Season 2 re-mastered was eventually added starting November 11, 2014. Currently, Star Trek: The Next Generation airs two episodes on Monday-Thursdays from 11am – 1pm EST. The network also airs marathons on Tuesday evenings, Fridays evenings, Saturday early mornings, Saturday evenings, and Sunday early mornings.

  • BBC America - цифровая кабельная и спутниковая телевизионная сеть в Соединенных Штатах Америки, которая является собственностью коммерческого дочернего предприятия британской общественного вещателя, ВВС. В отличие от каналов Би-би-Си в Великобритании, сеть не подлежит финансированию со стороны Великобритании по лицензии по закону (который является главным финансирование каналов Би-би-Си в пределах Соединенного Королевства); BBC не может финансировать любой из его каналов, которые не доступны в Великобритании; поэтому, BBC America работает как канал рекламодателя поддержке и принимает традиционную рекламу. В дополнение к прибыли от рекламы, он также финансируется сборами от кабельных и спутниковых операторов. По состоянию на август 2013 года, BBC America доступен примерно 80066000 телевизионным домохозяйствам (70,11% кабельных, спутниковых и телекоммуникационных клиентов) в Соединенных Штатах.
