Why Doesn't DS9 Air On BBC America?

Ok so why does BBC America show The Original Series, TNG & Voyager but not this series? I thought this one would have been next for the network to grab. Is it too expensive? I haven't seen it in syndication since I think The New TNN/Spike TV aired it. Is there something I don't know about that causes networks to avoid it? Maybe it's too dark of a show tonewise?

DS9 is more serialized requiring you to view the series and episodes in order or you might get lost regarding what the story is about whereas TOS, TNG and Voyager are all self contained episodes that can be viewed in just about any order.

I agree, I would rather watch DS9 reruns than Voyager.
