What is now BBC America I believe.
"Lionheart Television International, Inc. was formed on May 1, 1981 as a joint venture primarily consisting of Western World Television and Public Media, Inc. Lionheart took over the US distribution rights to the BBC's television output after a previous deal with Time-Life Television expired, and also that of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. BBC eventually bought Lionheart outright by 1987, making it their North American distribution arm (now called BBC America)."

Lionheart was the BBC's North American sales and co-production operation for a number of years.
It's one of the now-defunct BBC divisions, like BBC Enterprises, that have effectively rolled into BBC Studios (via BBC Worldwide).
