Does anybody have any insight into the BBC’s international channels?
Why do some countries have the BBC First brand, some have the BBC Entertainment and/or BBC HD while others have country specific channels - BBC America?
At a time of looking to maximise their programming one would have thought a strong international brand would make sense to sell content.
BBC America seems the least connected to the BBC as it appears to show Star Trek as much as Gold shows OFAH. BBC First Canada spent much of the weekend showing royal programming - nothing live but old documentaries from years gone by.
All seems a bit of a mishmash!
