WCNY UK

Dame Judi Dench has two classics on this list.

Since PBS flagship WETA in DC has a subchannel with British programmes, maybe one could be started by WCNY in Syracuse.  Here's what they could air:

Keeping Up Appearances
Hold the Sunset
Waiting for God
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
Fawlty Towers
Only Fools and Horses
The Vicar of Dibley
Open All Hours
Still Open All Hours
Butterflies
As Time Goes By
A Fine Romance
Midsomer Murders
Poldark (original and reboot [even this is a reboot])
Call the Midwife
Masterpiece (has US rights to many British dramas)
Les Misérables (non-musical mini-series version)
'Allo! 'Allo!
To the Manor Born
Are You Being Served?
Are You Being Served Again?/Grace and Favour
The Great British Baking Show/Bake-Off
Good Neighbours/The Good Life
Downton Abbey (ten years on)
Prime Suspect (which made Dame Helen Mirren a household name)
Baptiste

Us (part of Masterpiece here)
Eastenders
Ballykissangel (Irish series co-produced by BBC Northern Ireland)
Last Night in Halifax
Jamies Quick and Easy Food
Jamies Meat Free Meals
Nigella Lawson
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
BBC World News America
BBC Outside Source
Steptoe and Son
Dr Who

Britbox, a joint venture of Auntie and itv has most if not of the lot, but there are enough to fill a channel on the air.

COVID-19

Dr Phil with SUNY Oswego alum Al Roker on the Today show, 2006.

With coronavirus the elephant in the room, all aspects of life are affected.  Shows with studio audiences like Dr Phil either have to close or tape without one (although reruns of his show are on OWN, other series that don't have to be current such as The Price is Right or soaps could go into their vaults).  Getting guests over would be a bit of a risk too on top of problems they may already have.  Like many people, I'm watching the news helplessly trying to cope with something unheard of before in living memory.  Meanwhile, Dish and Apollo/Cox have declared a truce ending their dispute as maybe other proviers and owners until after Easter as having people even tele-conferencing can be hard right now.  I'm ready to ask a psychic when any break will arrive.
Long-running shows in syndication could air reruns from recent past seasons if they go through this series' and can't make new episodes right now, but freshman shows will have the same episodes to go through sooner than usual.  We all hope all this will ease up someday.
