I would be surprised if a wholesale deal with BT for the sports and AMC channels couldn't be done, to be honest.

There is a guaranteed income for BT with a wholesale deal, and they would be disappointed with the number of VM subscribers who would be prepared to pay extra for BT Sport. So I think BT make more money out of the wholesale arrangements than they would do otherwise.

Add to that the poor viewing figures attracted by AMC and I would imagine that it was a no-brainer to try and get that channel onto more platforms.
