Seems AMC TV will be available in HD for BT Sport customers on Sky from October.

Can someone explain to me why bt got amc and virgin did not.Bt do not own amc so must just be a platform to show the channel.Virgin do not want to own the content and just want to be a platform so how come they did not get in there before bt.With not getting hbo content you would have thought virgin would have had a look around to see if there were something similar that could be exclusive to virgin this time.Seems to me the virgin content buyers are asleep at the wheel most of the time.

Because BT bid the highest unlike vm BT and SKY create or go for channels whereas vm tend to then leech of SKY and BT and other companies.

Well, they could always go for an exclusive deal with Starz or Showtime, I suppose, both Premium US networks in the same ilk as HBO and AMC.

However many of their notable shows have been picked up by other UK broadcasters. Still Starz has a couple of good shows not picked up in the UK yet; Power and Magic City. Still, AMC only have two noteworthy new shows on BT, Rectify and The Walking Dead spin off (Amazon Prime has the rights to a couple of other good, new AMC shows)

VM probably think that with most shows already tied up with other UK broadcasters, it's not worth it. BT obviously think differently.

Had a quick flick though the epg today and AMC looks good it is also showing shows such as mad men, the shield and mostly movies however it isn't a 24hr channel as listings are for 7pm - 5:30am for each day.

Both on Amazon Prime though. All seasons of The Shield and 5 seasons of Mad Men.

Weeds starts next week, BT say 7pm to ?? initially which seems to indicate a 24hr service at a later date.

It'll be the usual "nothing to see here" honestly, Virgin are being left in a trail of dust by Sky/BT , Amazon Prime, etc etc, time for the cord to be cut me thinks.......:td:

It's most likely talking pictures or a local channel, nothing to get excited about.
