AMC And DISH Settle, The Undead Return To Satellite!
It’s a happy day for DISH subscribers (finally). As many of you know, an ongoing legal battle between the television service provider and popular network AMC has left the channel off the roster for nearly six months. The lawsuit has now been settled, with a 700 million dollar payment headed AMC’s way. The channel (and its affiliates) will resume airing on DISH tonight!
AMC is an extremely popular network. It’s the home of shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead. People were (understandably) pretty upset when the corporate disagreement began, as it meant they would have to resort to other means to watch their favourite shows. AMC was nice enough to stream the premieres of their biggest shows, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead online for the customers that would be missing out (though what about the rest of the season!?)
As the battle proceeded, DISH maintained that the dispute was over carriage fees, while AMC stated it was due to a broken contract.
In any case, welcome back DISH subscribers! Are you ready to get your Walking Dead on tonight?
