Channels affected in your area

AMC Networks

Our contract with AMC Networks, owner of AMC, IFC, WE tv, BBC America, and others, expired as of Monday March 31st. We were unable to reach an agreement that would continue to provide value to our customers.

Keeping you connected

Our goal is to get you the best possible value for your services, so we work hard to maximize value for our customers. We are always working to negotiate fair deals with third-party content providers for you. Most of the time, we can renew our programming contracts without any impacts to our customers viewing preferences.

Should you switch providers during a dispute

All TV providers, including streaming services, are affected by network negotiations and programming changes. Even if you switch now, chances are that you'll experience programming changes with another provider down the line.
