Seems likely AMC will disappear from the SKY epg next year when the wholesale deal kicks in. Certainly looks like BT still has plans for AMC. They're just over 2 years into a multi year exclusive deal.

The AMC deal is certainly described as a 'multi-year deal', but I had always assumed that this would expire at the same time as the existing football premiership rights came to an end. If it does, I think AMC will cease to be exclusive to BT, and this is another possible explanation for the channel not being part of the Sky/BT agreement.
So, AMC could be present on Sky without the BT Sport subscription and it could also be made available on Virgin Media.
