On the decisions of some television networks

In the last year or two, there has been a list of complaints over the actions of some cable channels, and I finally decided to vent my beef here:

1. Why is BBC America airing non-British programs like The X-Files, Star Trek: The Next Generation and soon the remake of Battlestar Gallactica?  Even if British actors and actresses were involved in these shows as cast members, as an American, when I tune in to BBC America, it's because I want to see British television.  As long as they were produced originally for British audiences to air on British tellies, it doesn't matter to me.  Just don't give me American-produced shows originally aired for American audiences*; that's what CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX & PBS are for.
2. Why is the Cartoon Network airing live-action shows?  It's a cable channel which by its very title implies it is a network which airs cartoons, and (I would expect) only cartoons.  So why has the Cartoon Network, as part of its Adult Swim package, been producing and airing shows like Eagleheart and Children's Hospital, both live-action shows?  I had the same problem for a time when another channel, Disney XD (formerly Toon Disney), began airing similar shows on what I thought was supposed to be a cartoon-only channel.  Original programs are fine, but would it really kill them to produce and/or air only cartoons?
3. Why has the SciFi channel (or SyFy, thanks to some idiot's idea) aired wrestling?  Doesn't matter what is entailed with the wrestling, why is wrestling being aired on a cable channel which is supposed to be airing programs and movies which have something to do with, I don't know, science fiction?  They don't have to be even good science fiction, as long as it's just science fiction; maybe they could ask BBC America if they can air The X-Files, Star Trek: The Next Generation and the remake of Battlestar Gallactica.
4. Why has the Independent Film Channel (IFC) stopped airing films without commercial interruption and even (I suspect) uncut?  In addition, why has IFC been producing original television shows?  Whatever happened to the days when this particular channel would air uncut, commercial free, independent films?  Seems like IFC has lost some of its independent streak.

If I did enough digging, I'm sure I could find more cable channels taking some strange decisions on their programming, but it does puzzle me why these channels have done what they have done.  If they want to do a 180° turn on their programming, that's their choice, but it would be nice if they followed the path of channels like Disney XD and simply change their titles.

*To further highlight the programming decisions of BBC America, I thought an episode from the classic Are You Being Served? was in order:
