AMC’s Settlement of $2.4 Billion Suit Returns ‘Walking Dead’ to Dish
Posted in: Uncategorized
AMC Networks and pay-TV provider Dish Network said they reached a settlement in their lawsuit over AMC’s claim that Dish wrongfully terminated their contract for high-definition TV programming.
The settlement includes a return of AMC’s networks and award-winning shows like “Breaking Bad” and “The Walking Dead” to Dish’s viewers starting yesterday, according to AMC’s statement. Dish had dropped AMC’s channels in July, saying that they didn’t deliver the ratings to justify their price.
“We are glad to have settled the case and reestablished our long-term relationships with AMC Networks and Cablevision,” Dave Shull, Dish’s senior VP of programming, said yesterday in a separate statement. “This multiyear deal delivers a fair value for both parties and includes digital expansion opportunities for AMC Networks’ programming.”
