This may sound silly. [BBC America]

Posh Spice, as an Anglophile, I'm with you on BBCA--we haven't gotten cable yet though, so this is valuable information! I personally love the original FW rather than Overtime... just putting it out there

Oddly, they just added BBC World about a month or two ago. Why not BBC America?

I submitted this last night to Cablevision:

Why don't you offer this channel when every other cable provider I've been with does? Please add BBC America to your channel lineup for Brooklyn.

Thanks.

so it looks like a boilerplate response but there is hope in that they keep tallies of requests.

Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the availability of carrying “BBC America” on our cable system. I understand and would be happy to help you.

Suggestions from our customers are important in helping us determine which services to add to our current programming lineup. Although we would like to add every service that is developed, due to a limited number of channels available, we cannot always accommodate every request. We do our best, however, to provide those services that have the widest overall appeal to the customers we serve.

While we do make every attempt to accommodate programming requests to satisfy customers' preferences, factors such as technical limitations, contractual obligations with programmers and federal government regulations may limit our ability to honor each request that we receive.


While “BBC America” may not be added at this time, there is a possibility it may be added in the future. I am responsible for sending a tally of all program requests to our programming Department to let them know what customers in your area want added to their line up. I will be sure to include your request for “BBC America”. As always, we will keep you informed of any new programming offerings as they become available.

Again, thank you for contacting us to express your programming interests. We always appreciate receiving comments and suggestions from our customers. If you have any other questions please email us or contact your local Customer Service department for further assistance. Have a pleasant day.


Thank you for choosing Cablevision.

Sincerely,

Sylvia
