However AMC can easily show old episodes of shows such as the walking dead season 1 etc i would imagine.
They are already doing this with breaking bad, rectify and the shield.

Yes, they do show old content, which all digital channels do. but to have value as a premium channel, they must have the rights to the current roster of shows. Otherwise they are not worth the price associated with a premium channel. Many of their old shows are available elsewhere.
But as I said previously, BT may be prepared to wait until the current AMC shows with rights tied up on other networks, run their course and then presumably BT will have the option on first run rights on all AMC shows.
Until they get close to that, IMHO, VM would be foolish to pay a premium price for AMC.
