Six months since its launch, and there's still no news on BTG being made available in the UK, Australia and other markets. What is going on?!

Annoyingly, we don't have any of the US soaps available readily in the UK, I never understood why. We used to get Sunset Beach (HUGE, I think more popular here than in the US), B&B and then very briefly DAYS when SUBE was canceled (aired from the Bope wedding when Gina was impersonating Hope, through to the Coronation Massacre). We also very briefly got GH for a while on the ABC1 channel but again quickly dropped. I believe the only one currently available is B&B on PlutoTV but nothing mainstream. I did have hope when DAYS went to Peacock only, and with BTG on Paramount Plus, but my emails to both streamers were ignored (we have Paramount Plus here, and Peacock sits within NOWTV streaming service too). BTG not being available here isn't surprising.

I remember how massive Sunset Beach was here in the UK, with Channel 5's voiceover man lovingly taking the piss out of it over the end credits, plus the Saturday omnibus episodes. It was a real cult hit.

It's baffling to me why BTG hasn't landed on Paramount Plus in other territories outside the US yet. There's definitely an audience for it around the world, and people would be intrigued at being able to watch a soap from the start like they have in America. A soap with a majority black cast would certainly find an audience in the UK.
