Crucially, PBS member stations[0] run a lot of international—-often British—-shows, so it’s one of the few places you might possibly find cricket on American TV. Otherwise, your only bet might be one of the niche cable sports channels: not the main ESPN, but maybe ESPN2 or something. [0] PBS is more like a network (the S is for ‘service’) that provides member stations with a common identity and a shared pool of programmming. They’re usually non-profits, and so would not be able to afford a national news bureau (etc) on their own.
