Is AMC Doing it Right?

Last month satellite provider Dish replace several networks owned by AMC. 

Dish replaced the content with other channels it apparently like better and believed would draw more viewers.

AMC announced today that it will allow Dish subscribers to stream many of its programs live through its website.  Dish subscribers must register at www.amctv.com/breakingbad4dish to view live streams.  This will include the season premiere of Breaking Bad  set for this Sunday at 10PM ET.

In a statement AMC said, "AMC wants its loyal Dish viewers to experience the excitement of the Breaking Bad premiere at the same time as their friends and neighbors."

This is much different than Viacom's response to failed negotiations with Direct TV.
