Is there an American TV Channel in the UK?

Question

here in the states, we have a wonderful channel called BBC if u don't have it there its a channel with a bunch of british tv shows, is there a channel over there with just american tv shows, what shows are on it? Thanks

Answer 1

no, there really isn't a TNT, Discovery(american version), UPN, FOX, etc.

There are stations dedicated to american TV shows. Those stations will play a hog-podge of different shows (family-guy, LOST, CSI, Music Videos, etc)

Answer 2

Five US shows only American shows. Others are a mixture. The BBC1 & BBC2 are our national government funded channels with no commercials but they are probably different to BBC US.

Answer 3

yes unfortunately we do have the BBC in the UK as well ... and the public actually have to fund it by paying for a license to watch TV because the BBC is government run.

as far as American Shows in the UK ... you don't find many channels that are dedicated just to American TV (you possibly may find an obscure channel somewhere on satellite) but there will be several channels showing some American TV and some British TV etc.

but to be honest, ive never really bothered looking for American TV. Sports channels and Top Gear is all i watch

Answer 4

They have a lot of our tv shows on various stations and even sunday night baseball which comes on at 2 AM. I love the show top gear but most of their programming like "me and my small breast" seem stupid to me or the show "my female body and me' about transexuals is a little over the top for my tastes.

Answer 5

Actually, here in the UK we have al range of viewing options, ranging from purely terrestrial tv - BBC, ITV and channels 4 & 5 to the full gamut of SKY programs, international satellite cahnnels and local cable franchises.

I never realised how many programs there were that I didn't want to watch until I installed a Satellite dish for the dubious benefit of my children.

Personally, I find that modern tv is good for getting things done around the house so I don't have to endure endless repeats, reality gameshows, gardening , DIY and cookery shows. Perhaps worst of all are the utterly apalling American kids cartoons, with their incessant shrieking voices and total absence of any redeeming features whatsoever. Whoever in your country is responsible for these should be taken outside and shot every day for a month until they get the message!
