BT launches AMC UK channel
Pay-TV platform BT TV is hoping that an unfolding zombie apocalypse will help it bite out a bigger share of a competitive UK market dominated by Sky. Fear the Walking Dead, the much-anticipated spin-off show of US flesh-eating drama the Walking Dead, is airing exclusively on BT TV as the flagship drama for the first AMC-branded channel in the UK.
It is part of a wider deal struck in June between US cable operator AMC Networks and BT TV.
