Verizon customers might lose AMC, IFC

Portlandia is also pretty good on IFC.

Every month it feels like there are more and more carrier battles. Thankfully for AMC Walking Dead is a ratings smash.

Re: Verizon customers might lose AMC, IFC
AMC is trying to hold Verizon hostage by turning its viewers on Verizon. I'm not switching to another carrier for one station (or two), and if AMC's hardline tactics cause Verizon to lose that channel, I would be sorely tempted to find "alternate" means to view Walking Dead and Breaking Bad before rewarding AMC's tactics.

Re: Verizon customers might lose AMC, IFC
My sister and her husband who haven't had cable in over a decade are finally getting Verizon Fios and my brother in law is a Walking Dead and Breaking Bad fan (from watching it on DVD). They just couldnt do over the air anymore. The reception in their new house is horrible. That would suck for him if there is an extended carriage dispute like the whole Dish mess.
I'm sure this will get resolved. They always do.

AMC is getting arrogant.

I just switched to Fios last week and was disappointed to see that. No enough to switch back though. I never watch any movies on AMC and can easily find a way to see BB and TWD.

I saw the first "commercial" for this campaign while watching Comic Book Men on the DVR last night. If Verizon does end up losing AMC, I am not about to jump ship over it.
