I believe in the USA and Australia there’s a lot more recent content such as that week’s Coronation Street and Emmerdale, but I would hazard a guess that more of the target audience (especially in Australia) are expats. I remember the USA version had Good Morning Britain for a while, not sure if that’s still the case.

Can't imagine that was well watched.

One issue BritBox has is the reality of drama production nowadays is so much of it is co-productions, so most the big UK dramas have funding in place from the international streamers. So many flagship BBC dramas especially are commissioned in association with Netflix or Amazon where the BBC get the UK rights and the streaming giants get worldwide rights, so there isn't much premium content for BritBox to pick up - and I would hope BBC Studios have seen how other media giants keeping content for their own streaming platforms hasn't turned out to be anywhere near as lucrative as selling them on.

The daily soaps (Corrie, Em'dale, EastEnders) get a big daily viewership. When there is an occasional cock-up in the upload or something. People go crazy. They they are staple. GMB is still shown but its a edited hour long programme. This Morning was there and its been removed from North American BritBox.
BritBox has several original productions. And they are first to air Father Brown, Vera and Shetland. This biggest loser in all this has been PBS which used to get first crack now all those go usually to BritBox first.
