I can't imagine that Fox not being on one relatively unimportant TV platform in one country is that significant for AMC which sells its content globally.
I don't think AMC's viewership levels is because few people can get it - I think about 5m subscribers can access to it via the Sky and BT YouView platforms. If BT is paying big bucks for the channel then AMC may be prepared to accept the situation in the short term until the channel has better rights. At this stage, it may want to go onto more platforms but as one channel on its own how could it achieve this? Maybe going into something like M+ on VM and the Entertainment Pack on Sky?
