I give PBS another year or two. Their constant self-absorbtion has made them blind to the realities of TV in this millenium.

Also worth mentioning US viewers will get extended episodes!

I'm watching it online now just like I did with Downton Abbey. PBS really needs to get with the times.

Well, remember that PBS is showing "Poldark" on Masterpiece right now. That will be ending in about 7 weeks or so, and they likely want to have a new program series to start Masterpiece off in January for the Winter and Spring season

Also, since "Poldark" is from the BBC and "Victoria" is from ITV, perhaps PBS had to make agreements with both of those Brit networks not to show both series at the same time. They are, after all, both being shown in the U.K. at 9 PM Sunday evenings in competition with each other.

Ah, the politics....maybe....of the broadcasting business!
