Does anyone watch BBCAmerica on a regular basis. It is one of my favorite cable channels. I like Waking The Dead and Wire In The Blood.

Here is an article about new changes including the final season of the UK Footballers Wives.

WHile I wouldn't classify myself a regular viewer, I have watched all their series at one time or another, and I look forward to sampling their newcomers as well.

What I think is most inspired about their programming strategy is the way they are clearly monikering their evenings around themes:

"Murder Mondays" (crime dramas)
"Tuesday Nitro" (actioners and reality skeins)
"Wicked Wednesdays" (sudsers)
"Big Thursday" (reality)
"Crime Scene Friday" (procedurals)
"Supernatural Saturdays" (sci-fi/thrillers).
"Adventure Sunday" (family) / "The Brit Movie" (British theatricals)

Trust it to the British to offer up such a balanced diet. If only CBS could learn from the BBC a bit about how to package nights around something other than procedurals.

It will be interesting to see if BBC's pick-up of the family drama "Wild at Heart" will influence The CW's decision.

Also, "Hollyoaks" (Monday-Friday at 10 p.m.) sounds very telenovellaish, and I hope it works well for them better than for MNT.
