History

1984–2002: Focus on classic films

American Movie Classics, as AMC was originally known, debuted on October 1, 1984, as a premium channel. Its original format focused on classic movies – largely those made prior to the 1950s – that aired during the afternoon and early evening hours in a commercial-free, generally unedited, uncut and uncolorized format.[7]AMC was originally operated as ajoint venturebetween Rainbow Media and cable television provider Tele-Communications Inc. (John Malone, who owned TCI and its parent Liberty Media, would launch another premium service—Encore, which also originally focused on older films, mainly from the 1960s to the 1980s – seven years later in April 1991). During its early years, it was not uncommon for AMC to host a marathon of Marx Brothers films, or show classics such as the original 1925 release ofThe Phantom of the Opera. In 1987, the channel began to be carried on the basic cable tiers of many cable providers.[7][8]By 1989, AMC was available to 39 million subscribers in the U.S.[8]

On December 1, 1990, AMC began operating on a 24-hour-a-day schedule. Beginning in 1993, AMC presented an annual Film Preservation Festival to raise awareness of and funding for film preservation. Coordinated with The Film Foundation, an industry group that was founded by acclaimed directorMartin Scorsese, the festival was originally conceived as a multi-day marathon presenting rare and previously lost films, many airing for the first time on television, along with behind-the-scenes reports on the technical and monetary issues faced by those engaged in archival restoration. Portions of the festival were often dedicated to all-day marathons focusing on a single performer. During its fifth anniversary year in 1998, Scorsese credited the Festival for creating “not only a greater awareness, but[…]more of an expectation now to see restored films.”[9]In 1996, curator of the Museum of Modern Art Mary Lee Bandy called the Festival “the most important public event in support of film preservation.”[10]By its tenth anniversary in 2003, the Festival had raised $2 million from the general public, which The Film Foundation divided among its five-member archives.[11]

In 1993, Cablevision’s Rainbow Media division became the majority owner of the channel, when it bought out Liberty Media’s 50% stake in AMC; incidentally in August of that year, Liberty announced its intent to purchase the 25% stake in the channel that Cablevision held at the time, with the Turner Broadcasting System helping to finance the buyout that included an option for TBS to eventually acquire AMC outright.[12][13]The following year,Time Warner(which would later purchase rival Turner Classic Movies following the company’s 1996 acquisition of the Turner Broadcasting System) also attempted to acquire at least part of Liberty Media’s stake in AMC.[14]

In June 1995, AMC filed a $550 million breach of contract lawsuit against Turner Entertainment, which alleged that the company violated AMC’s exclusive cable television rights to the pre-1950 Warner Bros. Pictures film library to broadcast approximately 30 times between July 1994 and April 1995, charging that Turner’s objective in violating the contract was “to gain unfair advantage for the Turner Classic Movies cable network (which debuted in April 1994) at the expense of AMC.”; Turner owns rights to the RKO Radio Pictures film library and licensed RKO’s films to AMC in an output deal that was slated to last through 2004. Under the terms of the deal, AMC would obtain the RKO titles in exclusive windows.[15]

Around this time,General Electric/NBCowned a stake in AMC – which it divested in the early 2000s. From 1996 to 1998, AMC aired its first original series,Remember WENN, a half-hour scripted series about a radio station during the peak of radio’s influence in the 1930s. The show was well received by both critics and its enthusiastic fans, but was abruptly cancelled after its fourth season following management changes at the channel (WENN was followed up byThe Lot, which lasted for only 16 episodes). Despite a well publicized write-in campaign to save the series, the show was not renewed for its originally scheduled fifth season.

One popular AMC program wasAmerican Pop!(originally intended as a preview of a new 24-hour cable channel),[16]which ran from 1998 to 2003 and featured movies from the 1950s and 1960s aimed atbaby boomers(such asBeach Blanket BingoandSki Party). Of particular interest to movie completists were the segments that AMC played to fill out the timeslot (Saturday nights from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.Eastern Time): classic movie trailers, drive-in movie ads and snipes (bits extolling viewers to visit the snack bar, etc.), along with music videos cribbed from movie musicals from the period.

The majority of the films presented on AMC during the 1990s had originally been released byParamount Pictures,20th Century Fox,Columbia Pictures, andUniversal Studios. The channel also occasionally showed classicsilent films. The regular hosts of the telecasts were Bob Dorian and later, Nick Clooney (father of actor and businessmanGeorge), as well as New York City radio personality Gene Klavan from WNEW (1130 AM, now WBBR). Another WNEW alum, Al “Jazzbo” Collins, provided his voice for the “Jazzbo’s Swingin’ Soundies” series of interstitials.

For most of its first 18 years in existence, AMC provided uncut and uncolorized films without commercial interruption. Its revenue came from carriage fees provided by the cable providers that maintained carriage agreements with the channel. However, in 1998, AMC began accepting traditional advertising, incorporating limited commercial interruptions between films (its sister movie channel Romance Classics, which had launched only one year earlier, became an entirely ad-supported channel at that point).[17]By 2001, AMC had also incorporated commercial breaks during its movie telecasts.[18]As a result of this move, Turner Classic Movies became the only one of the two classic film-focused networks to present their films commercial-free.

2002–09: Format change and expansion into original programming

On September 30, 2002, AMC underwent a significant rebranding, changing its format from a classic movie channel, broadening to a more general focus on movies from all eras[19]– as well as shortening its name to just the “AMC” abbreviation, and introducing a new logo (a rectangular outline with a lowercase and uppercase “aMC” text). Kate McEnroe, then-president of Rainbow Media, cited lack of subsidies from cable providers as the reason for the addition of advertising, and cited ad agencies who insist on programming relevant to their products’ consumers as the reason for the shift to recent movies instead of just classics.[20]At the time of the format switchover, the company also attempted to launch a spin-off digital cable channel, AMC’s Hollywood Classics, which would have required viewers to pay an extra fee to receive the channel. This commercial-free channel would have aired black-and-white classics from the 1930s through the 1950s that American Movie Classics had been airing up until its format changeover; however, the new channel never debuted.[20][21]

The network also gradually brought back original programming. In 2004, AMC aired its firstreality series,FilmFakers; the show featured out-of-work actors who believed they were auditioning for a major role in a real movie, only to be told that they were the subject of a prank and no film actually existed. ANew York Timesarticle on the show said that “FilmFakersmay go down as one of the meanest reality series yet.”[22]From 2002 to 2007, AMC was a channel focused on American films partially classics as well as documentaries about film history such asBackstoryandMovies that Shook the World.

On September 1, 2006, AMC officially became available in Canada for cable customers of Shaw Cable and satellite customers of Shaw Direct (formerly StarChoice), marking the first time the network was made available outside the United States.[23]

In late 2007 the network debuted its first original drama seriesMad Men, a period piece about Madison Avenueadvertisingexecutives in the 1960s. The show was immediately lauded by critics,[24]and won 16Primetime Emmy Awards[25]and a Peabody Award.Mad Menis widely regarded as one of the greatest television series ever.[26]Breaking Bad, a drama about a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher involved in making and dealingmethamphetamine(played by Bryan Cranston, who had been known primarily for comedic roles in series such asMalcolm in the Middleprior to the series), premiered in 2008; also garnering critical acclaim, winning 16Primetime Emmy Awards,[27]and is also regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time.[28]Breaking BadandMad Menended their runs in 2013 and 2015, respectively, with the former receiving a spin-off in the form ofBetter Call Saul.

2009–13: “Story Matters Here”

On May 31, 2009, during the second-season finale ofBreaking Bad, AMC rebranded with the introduction of a new slogan, “Story Matters Here”.[29]Later that year, the network premiered its second miniseries,The Prisoner. On January 4, 2010, AMC began airing infomercials on Monday through Saturday mornings from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time; the Saturday morning infomercial block was eliminated after its March 25, 2011, airing as AMC added a Saturday block of western series and films the following week. 2010 also saw the premieres ofRubiconandThe Walking Dead. WhileRubiconwas cancelled,The Walking Deadbecame an enormous success and has become the most watched scripted program in basic cable history.

In 2011, Cablevision spun off Rainbow Media into a separate company, which was renamed AMC Networks, after its flagship cable network. Cablevision founder Charles Dolan and his family continue to retain a controlling interest in the company.[30]Also during this year, the network introduced two new dramas (The KillingandHell on Wheels), two original web series (The Trivial Pursuits of Arthur Banks[31]andThe Walking Dead: Torn Apart), and theWalking Deaddiscussion seriesTalking Dead. In 2012, AMC premiered three original reality series:The Pitch,Comic Book Men[32]andSmall Town Security; along with a second web series spun off fromThe Walking Dead,The Walking Dead: Cold Storage.[32]

On March 31, 2013, during the third-season finale ofThe Walking Dead, AMC unveiled a rebranding campaign with the new slogan “Something More“, and inverted the logo from a rectangular outlined box to a solid gold block with the network’s acronymic name retained in the center.[33]2013 saw the channel’s unscripted slate double with the additions of the unscripted seriesFreakshow,Immortalized,Owner’s ManualandShowville, and theBreaking Baddiscussion seriesTalking Bad.

Also in April,Rectify, which was originally developed for AMC, premiered on AMC’s sister channel Sundance Channel to jump-start that network’s emerging slate of original scripted programming. It was then followed by the July announcement that fellow sister channel WE tv had picked up another series originally developed for AMC for the 2012-13 development slate,The Divide, to series. During this timeframe, AMC had started to run marathons of certain shows and cross-promote programs from its co-owned sister channels.

In July 2013, the network announced that it had given series orders for two dramas:Turn: Washington’s Spies(which premiered on April 6, 2014) andHalt and Catch Fire(which premiered on June 1, 2014). This marked the first time that AMC had four pilot orders picked up to series in the same cycle, the other two beingThe DivideandLow Winter Sun(the latter premiered on August 11, 2013, after the season premiere of the final season ofBreaking Bad). The former two would both be renewed for second seasons while the latter two were cancelled after their first seasons. AMC would then pick upInto the Badlandsup for a six episode first season[34]andBreaking BadspinoffBetter Call Saulfor two seasons.

Shift away from unscripted programming

On October 9, 2014, it was announced that AMC would scrap its entire current and future unscripted slate outsideTalking DeadandComic Book Men.[35]This announcement came shortly after AMC took over theUnited Statesco-production of the sci-fi dramaHumansfrom Xbox Entertainment Studios.[36]AMC Media recently bought the European media giant Chello Media from Liberty Global. At the end of October, it was announced that AMC had won the bidding war to air the miniseriesThe Night Manager.[37]In November, AMC Networks renamed the European MGM Channel to AMC.[38]In January 2015, the Asian MGM channel also became AMC as well. Also in January 2015, AMC announced that they would be airing the eight part miniseriesThe Making of the Mob: New York.[39]

In 2016, AMC introduced a new slate of original unscripted series, includingRide with Norman Reedus,Geeking Out, and new expansions of theTalking Deadformat withTalking Saul,Talking Preacher, andTalking with Chris Hardwick.[40][41][42][43]

Programming

Series programming

Although movies remain an integral part of AMC’s schedule, the network has garnered attention in recent years for its original series. The channel’s first original series was the game showThe Movie Masters, which ran from 1989 to 1990 and was otherwise notable for being Gene Rayburn’s last hosting role; outsideRemember WENNandFilmfakers, most of AMC’s original programming prior to September 2007 consisted of film history-related documentary and review programs. The establishment ofMad Menin 2007, followed by that ofBreaking Badin 2008, has given AMC a reputation on par with premium cable networks HBO and Showtime, both of which rejectedMad Menbefore it came to AMC.[24]The channel also airs someacquired programssuch asCSI: MiamiandThe Riflemanand shorts from The Three Stooges. Series programming, however, continues to occupy a limited portion of AMC’s schedule.

Movie library

AMC maintains movie licensing rights agreements with Warner Bros. Entertainment,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(including films from United Artists and library content from The Samuel Goldwyn Company, Orion Pictures, and Cannon Group),Universal Studios,Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (primarily film content from Touchstone Pictures and20th Century Fox) and Sony Pictures Entertainment (includingColumbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Screen Gems, and Triumph Films). Since the 2003 format change, the network’s film telecasts usually are “television” cuts meant for basic cable, which feature content edits, dubbing ofprofanities, and some time edits by removing some superfluous plotting or toning down scenes with adult content inappropriate for basic cable broadcast to fit within a set timeslot with commercials added.

FearFest

In 1997, AMC launched Monsterfest, a popular week-long marathon of horror movies and thrillers that aired in late October. In the mid-2000s, AMC started a Monsterfest blog on its website,[44]which chronicled news on horror-related film and television productions. In addition, AMC presented “Fear Friday,” a horror movie double feature on late Friday evenings. On September 26, 2008, AMC announced the launch of a new horror-themed movie marathon for its October schedule called “Fearfest” (which replaced Monsterfest); coinciding with this, the “Monsterfest” blog was renamed as the “Horror Hacker” blog.

Best Christmas Ever

AMC had typically aired a rotating lineup of five to six Christmas movies during the holiday season. In 2018, the channel introduced a more extensive holiday lineup branded as Best Christmas Ever, running from November 26 to December 25, featuring a mix of popular Christmas and family films, along with other acquired specials. The schedule included notable acquisitions fromWarner Bros., includingElf,National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,The Polar Express, and 12 Rankin/Bass specials (the films had been recent mainstays of Freeform’s competing25 Days of Christmasschedule, withElfin particular having received extensive airplay and high viewership during the event), as well as other specials fromDreamWorks Animation.[45]As expected, AMC saw ratings gains over the holiday season; primetime viewership for the first two weeks of the event was up 40% year-over-year, airings ofElfandChristmas Vacationboth peaked at 1.5 million viewers, and average viewership of feature films on Freeform fell by 36% year-over-year in the same period.[46]
