Re: What happened to AMC?

It goes way beyond TCM giving the old AMC competition. Yes, there were certain titles that Turner owned and that would no longer be leased to them.

As I understand it, Cablevision now owns or owns a piece of AMC.
Demograpically it was decided to "dumb down" the station and appeal to a younger, less cinema sophisitcated audience with shorter attention spans. People with shorter attention spans actually prefer commercial interruptions.

AMC reports viewership is larger than the old format. Scary, huh?

I just wish they'd change their name to something else. "Jaws 2" is hardly an American Movie Classic.
