MystValkyrie comments on Disney+ Officially Exiting ‘Doctor Who’ Partnership With BBC After Two Seasons

At this point, I wish BBC was willing to open up its iPlayer service to international, non-UK taxpayers who are willing to pay a monthly fee to use the service. Then they wouldn't need to find a new network and would make more money.

They did. It ran in several countries but it failed when it tried to enter the US market because the BBC’s US customers such as ABC and AMC threatened to stop buying their shows if they opened a rival.

Then years later the BBC bought out ITV’s stake in BritBox outside the UK.
