Aw thank you, so glad you like our videos!!!

I live in the U.S. and I have Britbox that has a variety of genres from the U.K. - much bigger selection than Netflix And for some reason , I just love British reality shows . There is also Acorn TV -which I think is a little more detective show heavy.

I just had to tell you I’ve been subscribed now for a few months but recently, I’ve been home sick and binge-watching these older videos. Fuzzy slippers, hot tea with lemon, a box of tissues by my side and Joel & Lia. Definitely my remedy for recuperating and making the best of a bad situation! Love you two!

I've watched loads of British shows through many different channels and websites. I've come across the different brands or channels (BBC, itv, Sky, Channel 4/5, etc) and this explanation, though foreign to me, really helps me understand the dynamics of British television. Thanks for your in-depth and comprehensive coverage of this topic.

I don't watch TV at all because it has so low quality in Russia (there is a lot of absolutely stupid comedies, propagandistic stuff), and, I think, most of young fellows would say the same thing. We usually watch youtube or foreign TV series (American, British, etc.) much more than some domestic stuff. But middle-aged and old people in Russia often watch TV and I have never really understood them because they can stand annoing advertisements during, for instanse, a film, when they just can watch it in the internet. Btw, love you both, you're so nice. Watch you all the time❤

Someone may have done this already, BUT I'll give a go at American TV channels basics. In the beginning before internet (and cable) there were three ad-sponsored networks: NBC (National Broadcasting Company), ABC (American Broadcasting Company), and CBS (Columbia Broadcasting Service). Each network was broadcast via local stations in different cities. Each station could be directly owned by a network (i.e., a "subsidiary") or be an "affiliate" of a network -- privately owned but showing one network's programmes. Note: Before I was born, there was a fourth in the 1940's and 1950's called Dumont which went off the air, and whose stations split amongst ABC and NBC. In the mid 1980's, a new major network began, Fox. This brought the over-air networks to four. Then in the mid 1990's, "netlets" began, which were smaller networks. There were two of them, UPN (United Paramount Network) and The WB Network (Warner Brothers). This means that there were six ad-sponsored networks. Also in the 1980s, American cable television -- a subscription service using cable to provide pay television -- started here. There was a sixth over-air network, that was (is) publicly funded called PBS (Public Broadcasting System). So, pre-Internet and outside cable, as of 2000 there were seven TV providers. As of 2018: The Big Four still exist (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox). UPN and The WB merged into a new network called The CW. PBS is still a publicly-funded network. This means that outside Internet and cable, there are often six networks available without a subscription. Really, the system is much more complex, but for the basics in 2018, there are six networks in the US you can get without directly paying with an antenna.

@derekhorne8076

6 жыл бұрын

Others may see that as an advantage. The BBC aren't censored, certainly not officially, although they are often accused by political groups as biased towards their opponents. As both sides often accuse the BBC of this at the same time it tends to show that perhaps they are not biased? The BBC's interviewers (and ITN for that matter) tend to be more even handed and play 'devil's advocate' when questioning politicians, for example and it means that we tend to get both sides of an argument to make up our own minds other than stations such as Fox News or RT (for example) that many may believe have a far more biased stance.

The BBC definitely does make (some of?) the best documentaries in the world. These are all made so that they can be sold to other countries ... you can tell this, because a typical 1 hour programme consists of 45 minutes of programme and 12 minutes of "the making of...". While the making of the programme _is_ interesting in its own right, the main reason it's included is so that it can be cut out when the programme is sold to a network that has adverts, without impacting on the programme itself. Just remember that when you think about whether the licence fee is good value ... that is how much time you would have to sit through adverts for if we didn't have it!

I'm in the US & we use cable & get over 700 channels. We also have a built in dvr in our cable box, so we record all of our favorite shows & watch them when we have time. We can also forward through commercials, which you call adverts. I watch alot on BBC. Just finished Howards End, British mini-series & loved it!

I loved watching British comedies on PBS, our version of the BBC here in the US. My all,time favorite show growing up was Top Gear after we got Satellite and BBC America. Now, I have Amazon Prime,just to watch the Grand Tour. When I was younger we had antenna TV, which was able to pick up our local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS stations. When the country switched to digital from analog, I had access to 26 stations for free, but if you live in a major city those numbers are higher. Here in America, there is a major battle with traditional cable & satellite providers versus streaming options. It is amazing how far things have changed from when I was younger waiting to watch the new cartoon episodes on Saturday mornings. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks a lot!

American here. I'm part of the older generation (your parents). Over the years here is a partial list of BBC America programs I've seen on our PBS network. PBS, by the way, stands for Public Broadcasting System. It is commercial free and funded by corporations, trusts, and private donations. So, I have seen "Monty Python", "Fawlty Towers" (my favorite!), "To The Manor Born", "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin", "As Time Goes By" (very classy), "The Vicar of Dibley" (RIP Emma Chambers), "The Days of Summer Wine", "Are You Being Served", "Keeping Up Appearances", and "Dr. Who". Again, this is just a partial list off the top of my head. When "Downton Abbey" was shown in the US after it was shown in the UK, I was amazed. It's clear to me that actors in the UK are better trained and schooled as actors than what we have in America. Downton Abbey was HUGE here!!

OMG! I love you guys! You always have a way of getting to the point while at the same time entertaining and informing us. I've always wondered how British television works compared to American television. Honestly, like in the UK, American television has changed so much over the past 10 years or so as well. I think most here, at least most households still have televisions, but most everything is moving to be viewed on laptops and cell phones. It's more economical as well. Why buy a television when you can buy a laptop or cell phone that does everything a television does and more? One thing I find fascinating is how more and more Americans watch British television, and some Americans watch shows that were originally British shows but have since recast and rebranded as American shows, take "The Office" and "Queer As Folk" for example. Seriously though, I find myself watching less television and more things on laptops and cell phones like KZread, with you two being two of my favorite KZreadrs I watch religiously.

I really love this video and I was wondering if you guys can make a video on what your guys favorite British and American shows are? and if you can also explain why British show have few episodes in each season and why it takes a long time for British shows to come out with a new season (ie Sherlock)

YAY A NEW Video!!! I know these channels too well. Although I am still young I remember using the old televisions at my house. We only got the newer ones when I was about 4.

I do go to watch something on satellite TV, but then decide to go with KZread. I've done this many times. I especially do it when I get the notification that you guys posted a new video. 😊

Back in the 80s, we had 6 stations on broadcast TV in a suburb of New Orleans. Three national stations, one publicly funded station, and two local stations. In about 1981, they wired our neighborhood up for cable TV. I remember HBO not coming on until 4:30pm every day.

Why bbc america?? It literally stands for british broadcast corporation 😂😂 *love you guys xx*

BBC America (aka BBCA) is not actually owned by BBC! It is only 5% owned by BBC. The BBC is in partnership with an American company called AMC (Originally known as American Movie Classics). This company owns many Channels! The BBC supplies much of the content such as Doctor Who, Torchwood, etc. Also they co-produce content with AMC through BBCA such as Orphan Black! I assume that you don't get BBCA in the UK. But it has become a rather wide spread channel in the USA.

I still am waiting for more Torchwood too! But BBC occasionally reruns it! I never watched Top Gear. But I still love Doctor Who!

Funny that you can’t stand adverts but there were adverts in the middle of your video. Ironic.

OMG! In the USA (California) the TV landscape is exploding, everyone is desperate for content, and these days anyone with half a brain could, with limited resources, create great content. Netflix was the best value but the new stuff is only available on DVD (I no longer have a TV much less a DVD player... my last 3 laptops didn't vine include one) and the big production companies are doing their one "paid" streaming subscriptions e.g. Sony, CBS (sort of like BBC1 they did the new Star Trek but was only available for 5.99 with commercials -ridiculous- or 9.99 without) so those companies have pulled their content from Netflix, Hulu etc. Google rents TV shows and movies, so does Amazon. Anyone who can write, direct, act, and edit should make a killing in KZread and that could translate into a big show and payoff. I watch lost of Masterpiece (on PBS) and some shows on BBC America Killing Eve is awesome, would love to see Sick Note with the kid from HP (the ginger one) the Cormoran Strike series but they are not available here. Which American Shows would you like to see but can't?

Watch jndian channel

When I was growing up, we had four channels - ABC, CBS, NBC and PBC (public TV). All were free and there was no license. There were commercials. You had to have an antenna on your roof to get half way good reception. All TV went off at midnight when they would play the National Anthem. Then it was just static. Then cable came along and it cost, but it was supposed to be commercial free. Oh, and it was in black and white. No color TV. To change the channel you had to get up and turn a dial.

I'm from the US and remember when we only had 3 channels and had to walk up to the black & white TV to change the channel. I'm so glad that you are spoiled and may it get even better for you ! Yes, I'm old, please don't dump me from your station. I so love listening to you, your so great !

when i was little (from 1978 until 1982), i only had 3 channels, until 1982, when channel 4 came on the scene, then channel 5 came in 1995/96

I can't tell how much inspired am i by you both these years.

aw thank you!

Do you get the channels via cable or antenna? Only a handful of channels are broadcast here in the US over the air and they are mostly local stations of CBS, NBC, etc.

I would love to have you guys discuss popular shows in the UK. For example, I’ve recently found Father Brown and Midsomer Murders!!! I’m absolutely addicted!

I use to work third shift, 12 am to 7 am and I am an avid NPR listener (National Public Radio). That time of night they broadcast the BBC morning news. So, for about a year and a half I recieved all my news from the BBC. It wad great. I liked hearing more global news from a non-American point of views. It was also interesting to see how your media reports about the issues in the US. And I heard it sooner too. Great deal and geat journalism.

Would love to see you do something on London markets!

Being British: Joel & Lia I just wanted to say that I may have British ancestry, I recently found that mom’s maiden name Deynes is British but I want to be sure, anyways in my research I found Deynes Road in Debden, in Essex, spelled exactly the same way.

This was super helpful. Thank you. Also...I watch youtube over tv all the time. On another note: You can create an IP address that says you are in the US so you can watch NBC and the like. :)

Thank you for explaining that. When I watch British shows, there are things I don’t get, but I am beginning to understand better. I love that we can share movies and television. And I’ve always wondered if you had commercials (adverts) during the show because there are no breaks in the stream. Are your channels the same throughout the country? That is so much less confusing. Here, our channels differ everywhere. We have networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox etc) that show the same shows nationwide during what we call “Prime Time” - 8pm to 11pm. But those networks are on different TV channels in different cities. Here in the Los Angeles area, CBS is channel 2 but in San Diego CBS is on channel 8. Like you, most people watch shows on their computers or tablets. Some still watch on their TV, but through an Apple TV or other device. Fewer and fewer people are watching cable or satellite TV. We all hate commercials.

Love your video 💜

Here in America, I gave up on cable/pay TV (which is getting prohibitively expensive anymore), and bought an HD antenna last year. Only thing is, usually if you want a nice sized bunch of channels you have to live in or near a major metropolitan area.

I never realized it until you said it, but yeah, I don't know the times that most of the shows I watch air live. I know one, but only because it's on a Sunday night when I'm already usually home to watch. But the rest I just DVR, so I know sort of what day some of them are on, but not the times at all. I just know when I get home from work, they'll be sitting on my DVR ready for me to watch. So weird how we're offloading our memories to digital devices. It's so cool :) #WeInTheFutureBaby

I have a question in regards to the tv licenses you have to pay for in order to watch your programs. Do you need to pay per device you have or just once per household? As an example if you have 2 tvs and a laptop and an iPad would you have to pay one flat fee because they are all registered to one address?

NBC our American channel has an app. Not sure if you can access outside though.

Oh, I was hoping you guys would do a video on this. Awesome video. In America, we don't have a license fee, we do have commercial breaks. In fact, TV scripts are actually structured around the breaks. Companies will pay the networks to show their commercials and in turn the network will then pay the production studio to makes the shows. So, the bigger the company (such as Coca-Cola or McDonald's), the bigger the show's budget. The over-the-air networks are American Broadcasting Company (ABC), the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Fox, and the CW. Cable/satellite and online shows work the same as they do in the UK. One of the things that the UK doesn't have, and I am sorry to say, may be gone soon here in the US is the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Unlike other networks who show commercials for the production budgets, PBS relies on donations from the general public, private companies, and some government assistance. They show mostly educational and overseas programs. In fact, many people my age were first introduced to British shows via PBS....shows like classic Doctor Who, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and others.

You Tube over TV, but I still have cable/satellite.. not ready to give it up yet ... love your videos, still trying to catch up, with past episodes after finding your channel

Aw thanks so much! We will add that to our list.

I know this is a year late, but from an American that prefers UK programs. This has always confused me but I always forget to research it. This was extremely informative. How do panel shows work, because they seem to use a lot of the same talent across certain show groups and there seems to be very few that cross over into other show groups. For example, other than Jimmy Carr and a few others there doesn't seem to be a lot of crossover from shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats,WILTY, etc with shows like Celebrity juice, Through the Keyhole etc . Thanks guys.

To tie this into one of the other videos, Channel 4 started around the time the Pound Coin was introduced, and Channel 5 started when the Two Pound coin was introduced (roughly).
