I notice that AMC doesn’t seem to be promoted in the current marketing of BT TV Flexible TV Packs

ie If you click to see what you get with Entertainment big Entertainment etc on the marketing page

the AMC channel is not listed ( it used to be listed as Other channel in the promotion ., now only Discovery is listed there)

is this simply an omission or is the channel no longer being offered on new subscriptions .

It's still available on new subscriptions, but isn't being advertised for reasons that will be announced soon.

That reason being it’s getting shut down? 🙂

@Kimbrich6 wouldn't surprise me as AMC's attempt at launching their own flagship around the world failed massively when they realised they'd actually licensed all of their decent content out and left themselves with the rubbish that nobody else wanted 🤣

FTWD started out good and went downhill rapidly and NOS4AT was ok... Everything else pretty meh

They have a few good films but the on screen logo is so huge it’s quite off putting 😂

I would have thought that The Walking Dead : Dead City series would/should have been a logical series to appear on AMC .

Not sure if related but AMC international did announce a new appointment in July

My guess is AMC+ launches and there is a change to the channel In some way , perhaps it becomes a movie only channel , In the spain where AMC+ launched, the channel is basically a movie only channel now.

Comms are now being sent out. AMC (the channel, and all catch up content) is being removed from all BT TV platforms from September 28th.

Where are these comms posted, or are they released to other websites as statements?

I hope there are more additions in the future, rather than ones being removed..

I had the email today. I've also been on Sky Stream and I've got a better deal that includes 4K Atmos on all Sports Channels

I got an email too. That’s not good news that we losing more channels….

The previous cull of channels was due to the move to Now TV. It was a big change that upset a lot of people, but we're in a much better place now.
The removal of AMC is a one-off activity, removing a channel that wasn't very popular. It has no bigger meaning - everything else is staying as it is.

I know the news is out, but I don't appear to have had an email and I have checked my junk folder.

Just to ensure I don't get missed out on any other emails to do with my subscription.

@Weerab1983 I believe the email address that BT are currently using is the one described below.

Staying in the loop
Add hello@message.bt.com to your address book to make sure our emails always get to your inbox.

Observation will this notification email change due to the BT/EE rebrand.

I never get any emails from BT regarding anything about my BTTV . I find out most of it on here but there must be some who don't get emails and not on here and will be wondering what's happened to AMC when it's gone. I won't miss it as used to watch FWD but that got a bit silly, so gave up...

Re: AMC

Some clarity on the email comms:
They're currently being sent to customers on OLD subscription packages, where AMC was the only channel that could be watched. As there's nothing left now on those packages, customers are being offered the chance to exit their contract early.
As has already been mentioned on this thread, channel lineup can change at any time and isn't considered a valid reason to exit contract early. Therefore not everyone will be offered this option.

@NigelB72

Does the Sky Stream 4K/Atmos sub also cover the TNT Sport channels?

Re: AMC

NigelB72 — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 19:04:59 GMT

@why_oh_why yeah I believe so.
