Comment BBC programmes in the US (Score 1) 130
Being an ex-pat working in the valley, I like the respite of familiar programming. The BBC's programmes are all over Cable. most PBS stuff has a high amount of BBC or joint production. (NOVA is basically Horizon, a BBC joint production. ) ON the discovery channel I guess about 50-60% is UK product re-voiced with an american narration. Also with digital cable we get BBC America which may carry the /. thang. The main thing to realise is that the BBC will sell the rights to this to an AMerican broadcaster usually PBS but not exclusively. I think there is a good chance to see this where I am (Silicon Valley) as there is an big audience for any tech stuff, other parts of the states may not get a broadcast.
