To pick up on some chat from earlier in the thread: I've just spent a fortnight in the USA, and yes, BBC America is a real oddball, isn't it? It's half owned by BBC Studios and the other half by AMC (BBC Studios' stake is a fraction bigger in reality) but it barely shows any BBC content. On the handful of occasions I tuned in, it was either showing movies or US TV dramas. To be fair, I did see them running trailers for the upcoming (for them) Happy Valley Series 3, though. But it feels like the channel is something of a misnomer.

Previously one of their biggest shows was probably Doctor Who, but they've now lost that to Disney+, who hold the international rights to all the episodes from November onwards.

Also, whilst the channel logo does contain the new BBC logo, the channel does not use any Chameleon style branding.

(On a side note, I also spotted the aforementioned BBC Food FAST channel, on Pluto TV, running in a cafe over there. Complete with the out-of-date BBC blocks logo )

The only BBC content on BBC America are Sir David Attenborough’s documentaries… In the past few year most people tuned in this channel for… Killing Eve. 

Nowadays there’re normally only Star Trek: TNG and Law and Order marathon…

So many years ago, BBC World News America was created for BBC America and sometimes it interrupted programmes for breaking news. Nowadays they showed a newsflash about the Derek Chauvin verdict but aired nothing about the Queen’s death.
