Brit-ish

A bit late on this, but it's here for the record. 

AMC Networks have moved Courtney Thomasma from her role at BBC America after just 18 months; she's to be the general manager of its streaming service AMC+. 

In comes Blake Callaway, who maintains his role with the film-making wing IFC and Sundance TV.  Born in Midland, Texas and an alumnus of Texas A&M University, he describes himself as "tall, baldish, lib, snowflake, so people tell me". Mr Callaway was with NBC's Sci-fi Channel when it became Syfy, and has already fiddled with the BBC America brand, thanks to strategy work from consultants BigSmall. 

"This new refreshed work around brand recognizes a British sensibility given a distinctly American twist that allows our unique ‘Brit-ish-ness’ to shine through" says Blake. No mention of Star Trek.

Today, BBC America is showing it's Brit-ish-ness with episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Next Generation until 8pm, followed by those British classic movies, Fast and Furious, and The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift.
