Should not it be "programs"? Or is "programmes" used in some dialect of English I am not aware of?

"Programme" is used in British English for that broadcasting stuff etc. As far as I can tell, they do use "program" for computer programs, though.

That's correct. British English uses "programme" for everything except computer programs.
