Yes some channels are licensed in the US. In fact BBC World News is geo-blocked so that UK viewers can't access it but US viewers can!

Such is the public service regulations around BBC content.

Is this content licensed in the US, I wonder? I have this theory that the market for dedicated hardware placeshifting (ala Slingbox) has peaked and services like this, Hulu, etc will suffice for most.
