For the same reason they pay for Home, Shed, CBS Reality, Quest, Home and Health, etc, etc., I presume.

I'm not an expert on this, but isn't AMC just another bundled pay channel on BT? I didn't think it was a 'premium' channel like Sky Movies.

Looking through next week's schedules, I would say this channel compared very well with Sky 1 in the evenings. I certainly wouldn't be sniffy about it and would welcome a new channel like this that was actually worth having. Next week I would be recording the TV series 'Manhattan', 'Weeds' and 'Rectify' and films 'A Single Man', 'Only God Forgives' and 'We Were Soldiers'. I would also have watched 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men' had I not already seen them (which many have not).

The only programmes I am recording from Sky 1 next week are 'Limitless' and 'Stan Lee's Lucky Man'.
