Why CPB is paying BBC?

Why is PBS/NPR paying BBC? Why did BBC have Alan Dershowitz on commenting on conviction of Ghislaine Max (https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59828961)? Not even Sky (no) News had Dershowitz on, but BBC did! Why the Corp. for Public paying BBC (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/19/bbc-strikes-deal-with-pbs-to-create-factual-programmes)?

I posted the above to kera.org at its contact/feedback page.

Thank you for contacting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). We greatly appreciate your feedback. CPB, PBS and NPR are separate organizations. Further, CPB does not provide any funding to the BBC. You may also wish to contact the BBC directly: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/
