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.
