AMC+ is an American subscription video on demand streaming service owned by AMC Networks that was launched in June 2020. The service is a premium bundle that includes the live feeds and program libraries of the company's television networks and streaming brands along with its own exclusive content.[1]

History[]

AMC+ was first launched in June 2020 for Xfinity customers, and included content that was previously exclusive to subscribers of the AMC cable channel through its TV Everywhere AMC Premiere app.[2] On October 1, 2020, AMC+ launched on Amazon Prime Video Channels and Apple TV Channels, and became available to Dish Network and Sling TV customers.[3][4]

Former BBC America executive director Courtney Thomasma was named general manager of AMC+ on April 8, 2021. Thomasma reports to Miguel Penella, AMC Networks’ President of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD).[5]
