BBC America

BBC America is a United States cable network owned by the BBC and dedicated to airing British-produced programming primarily produced by the BBC. Although it shares a common name, BBC America is not generally considered to be closely connected to the parent BBC; as such it is not automatically awarded BBC programming.

While the rights to air the revival of Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures in the US were obtained by the Sci Fi Channel, BBC America retained the rights to broadcast Torchwood in that country.
