I doubt it, they'd sell it at higher cost because in other countries there are often few alternatives.

Shows established in the USA become part of the global culture, USA is very good at exporting its culture. Once established, in order for people in other countries to buy in to that culture then exported media can be sold at higher value.

This is one of the reasons for regional encoding. You don't want to let outsiders buy in to something that's established as cool
