AMC Network:
“STORY MATTERS HERE”
AMC History;
“AMC Networks Inc. has been dedicated to producing quality programming and movie content for more than 30 years. AMC Networks owns and operates several of the most popular and award-winning brands in cable television” -AMC website
AMC is an American cable television specialty channel that primarily airs films, along with a limited amount of original programming. The letters originally stood for American Movie Classics; since 2002, the full name has been de-emphasised as a result of a major shift in programming. AMC is owned by AMC Networks and signed on October 1, 1984. AMC's most successful original series include Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Hell on Wheels.
For most of its first 18 years, AMC provided uncut and uncolored films without commercial interruption. Its revenue came from the cable providers that offered the channel to subscribers. AMC then gradually began to put ads between, and then also within, movies. This began in 1998 when AMC began incorporating limited commercial interruptions between films, while its sister movie channel Romance Classics became an entirely ad-supported channel.
From 2002 to 2007 AMC has been showing classic films and documentaries about film history such as Backstory and Movies that Shook the World. In 2007, AMC debuted Mad Men, a period piece about Madison Avenue advertising executives in the 1960s. The show was immediately lauded by critics, and has won 15 Emmy awards. The establishment of Mad Men, followed by that of Breaking Bad in 2008, has given AMC a reputation on par with premium cable networks HBO and Showtime, both of which rejected Mad Men before it came to AMC.
