AMC Networks Eyes International Roll-Out For Streaming Services

AMC Networks is set to roll out its suite of subscription streaming services internationally.
This comes after the company revealed earlier this morning, as part of its full year and fourth quarter financial results, that the Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and UMC (Urban Movie Channel) services had passed 2M subscribers. CEO Josh Sapan, speaking on an investor call after its financial results, said, “In addition to having broad appeal domestically, these genres translate quite well overseas and we see the international market opportunity is as yet untapped and quite significant. We’re not beginning development overseas on distribution of these services on a direct basis as well as via international MVPD.”
