Might as well rename it since it has very little to do with BBC programming at this point. Not sure why AMC is sinking money into a dying cable network.

Aube ownership of shows for streaming services. Disney did well that way.

What shows does BBC America own? They used to show content licensed by BBC. Now all they show is wrestling and Star Trek. They own none of these.
