I think this particular announcment may have more to do with the upcoming BBC docudrama about such a supervolcano explosion in Yellowstone actually taking place. It was supposed to have aired already, but they delayed it because they thought the Tsunami coverage would make their movie look fake.

Do you know what it's called, and whether it'll be shown on BBC America or something else (maybe PBS) here in the States?

I think it's just called Supervolcano (but it may have a subtitle, like "disaster at Yellowstone" or some such). It's a BBC movie and is supposed to be shown over here on a regular US cable channel, like Discovery, not on BBC America....

Googled "bbc supervolcano" and the second hit was the BBC blurb on the show:

Supervolcano

The beauty of America's Yellowstone National Park masks one of the rarest and most destructive forces on Earth - a supervolcano.

A new two-part BBC factual drama asks: 'What if Yellowstone erupted?'

Parts 1 & 2: 13-14 March, 9pm BBC One

No listing on network or timing for US broadcast there.

Here's another hit from that same google search:

Yellowstone Supervolcano Drama on BBC this Month

which has more detail on the program.  It does state that it is co-produced by BBC and Discovery (among others) so I guess that means it's going to be on Discovery.
