DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

[gpollock87]

They are getting more and more childish, and if they do pull the conventions stunt, they will end up with egg on their face, because nearly everyone will be going WTF?

AMC is full of it!

AMC is full of it!

It's my understanding that's their objective..to have their coffers full of Dish Network greenbacks after the Voom vs Dish/SATS trial. AMC Networks may be full of it come December. We shall see.

We will see. I still think in the long run this will hurt AMC more than any money they may get from the Voom trial.

I hope Voom and the WE channel come back.

There is no VOOM to come back.

Just wishing.

There may be no Voom, but what about all those HD Kung-Fu and Monster flicks? AMC still has those dozens of hours in their HD-content-coffers, yeah?

Monsters HD was a great channel.

They paid fees to the original rights owners which have surely long expired. They had NO complete rights ownership.

didn't amc say something like when they made a deal with dish they could make a wider programming deal or something like that? its around here somewhere but i couldn't find it.

 

[yaz96]

Pretty weak imo.I'm sure its annoying the crap out of many customers to see that banner even though it has nothing to do with them.I know it would bother me.

It's not a banner.

They just say at the end of every commercial for one of their shows(Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad, etc.), "Not available on Dish", and show a small Dish logo within the ad. Big deal...

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont know if they do it on every commercial break on AMC but they dont on IFC. Saw it 3 times in a 2:15 movie the other night
