AMC Prepping Streaming Subscription Service Without Ads, But You Would Still Need to Have Pay TV

In my professional opinion. LOL This is just plain dumb

Apparently, AMC Networks believes somebody out there is willing to pay as much as $7 per month to watch “The Walking Dead” and other programming from its flagship AMC channel streamed to digital screens to avoid watching ads — on top of paying for cable or satellite service.

According to a Reuters report, the cabler is planning to launch a service costing $4.99-$6.99 a month that will strip out advertising. However, the service would not be aimed at cord-cutters: It would be available only to current pay-TV subscribers.

I hope this doesn't mean they'll pull their content from Netflix. I can think of at least five shows I started watching on AMC (new seasons) because I was first able to catch up to the current season on Netflix, and I may do it again with Into the Badlands.
