Yesterday AMC networks announced it would allow current and former Dish subscribers to access live streaming on their website. The live streaming is for the premiere of Breaking Bad on Sunday, July 15 at 10pm.
This is the latest round in a carriage battle between satellite provider Dish and content provider AMC Networks. Last month Dish removed all AMC networks from its channel lineup.
DIsh claims the reason is poor performance and small number of viewers for the AMC networks.
The channel is AMC and it provides original programming such as Mad Men, The Killing and Breaking Bad. All of these programs seem to be popular with subscribers of cable systems and other satellite providers.
Following AMC's announcement, a spokesman for Dish said that the move by AMC shows the true value of their offerings.
No word on further negotiations to restore the AMC networks to the Dish system.
More as it happens.
