AMC Networks has rolled up BBC America, paying $42 million in cash for full control of the cable network a decade after making a minority investment.

    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.

        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.

    Does that mean the next season of Doctor Who is gonna be companioned by big-titted blonde? Or doctor solve problem with guns? Either way I like where it’s going.

    That really doesn’t seem like that much on the surface of things, but the more I think about the more I can’t really imagine what kind of assets BBC America has. So what are they really buying?
