Unless it's Netflix, that's the opposite of what's going to happen. Watch Top Gear US if you don't believe me.

which is ironic given top gear's stance on motor branded items....now only 24.99$ with international shipping available!
Netflix wouldn't be prepared to spend the budget that the BBC gives them. I'm sure its absolutely huge.

Hypothetically Netflix could do it, I mean it's really rough numbers because there'd need to be a lot of figuring but if you assume a Netflix subscription cost of $8 the 750 million viewers would work out to [b]6 billion dollars of income to Netflix monthly[/b], they'd be all over that shit. It'd likely be much lower considering many top gear fans already have Netflix and not all of the people who watch the show would likely get Netflix if it switched but the amount of money they'd make by having Top Gear even despite the insane production costs would [i]easily[/i] be made back. From a business perspective they'd be insane not to take it
