I'd expect to see a mixture of back catalogue shows and stuff not currently picked up in the UK. Through time, as current broadcast deals expire and new shows are created, the UK versions of each channel will start to feel more and more like it's American cousin.

BBC America for example is nothing like what broadcasts here:

Maybe ABC, CW and USA Network would make more money from an exclusive carriage deal for their channels, and advertising revenue on those channels, than by selling their shows to existing UK broadcasters?
