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.
