WCNY UK

A rose for Dame Judi Dench
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.
