Do they have Eastenders in America?In: Soap Operas |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
In the United States, EastEnders was shown on BBC America until it ceased broadcasts in 2003, amidst fan protests. BBC America were approximately six episodes (2 weeks) behind the UK EastEnders.
In June 2004, the Dish Network picked up EastEnders, airing episodes starting at the point where BBC America had ceased broadcasting them, offering the serial as a pay-per-view item. Dish Network first broadcast two weeks' worth of shows each week to catch up. In approximately February 2005, the programming reached the point of being one month behind the new shows being aired in the UK. At that point, Dish Network stopped its double-helping schedule, and now maintains the schedule of airing the new programmes consistently one month behind the UK schedule.
Old episodes (like the ones shown in the UK on UKTV Gold) are shown on various PBS stations in the USA.
