[3] PBS America operates much like BBC Studios, a profit-making enterprise managed separately from the main non-profit, publicly financed arm, that will ideally generate money for its owner.

The cable operator has also secured the rights to offer PBS content on its video on demand service, including the Virgin Media Player.

[6] On 19 April 2012, the channel's Sky EPG slot was put up for sale, with seven-figure offers anticipated by broker Canis Media.

[10] On 24 July 2013, PBS America moved to the Documentaries section on Sky channel 534, formerly used by Blighty, as part of a deal with UKTV.

[12] In July 2018, it was announced that the Channel 5-owned video on demand service My5 had reached a deal to include content from PBS America into its offering.

PBS America increased its coverage to be nationwide but changed broadcasting hours to be 1pm-11pm after CBS Drama went full time.

The agency also designed four colour themes for each of PBS America's four programming strands for use on the channel, website and any off-air marketing.
