Dish Network Set To Lose AMC, ‘Mad Men’ And ‘The Walking Dead’ Blacked-Out

Yep. After some 10 years with Dish, losing AMC is making me switch to Directv. Obviously, Dish doesn't care.

One way or another…..I will be watching the new season s of "Hell on Wheels' and "The Walking Dead"!

Dish cares about keeping your bill affordable, you wouldn't have been a ten year customer had you not been satisfied with the services and pricing offered. It is not Dish's fault that they weren't able to come to a negotiation, in result Dish subscribers lost their programming for 1 channel. You honestly have to look at the big picture and say do I really wanna pay the difference on my bill to keep AMC networks, not to mention how many customers Dish would loose if it's prices were to increase being one of the most affordable pay TV providers in the nation. I'm sure this is a temporary thing and once AMC Networks realizes the impact in viewership that they suffer over this, they'll have no choice but to come to a reasonable agreement with Dish.

BC OF DISH DROPPING AMC (THE WALKING DEAD!) WE ARE SWITCHING TO CHARTER DIGITAL CABLE. SO YEA EVIDENTALLY THEY DONT CARE. OH WELL, THERE LOSS NOT OURS! WHEN AMC COMES BACK WE WILL SWITCH BACK.

Yes I really would to pay the difference so I can just watch 1 channel! I just lost the 1 channel that has so many of the original shows that I love to watch. With Dish dropping AMC they are going to loose much, much more by the number of customers they are going to loose.

We pay enough as it is for all the channels including AMC(THE WALKING DEAD , HELL ON WHEELS AND OTHER GREAT MOVIES AND SHOWS!)We shouldn't pay any more at all for any channels on dish and why should the customer be punished for disputes between.
dish and AMC? Dish will lose many more customers than they think…hope they figure it out fast or we'll find a provider that gives us are favorite shows.

Shame on u dish.. The best show on tv. Pay up. Switching to on demand

So Dish doesn't care…but they replaced AMC with an actual HD MOVIE CHANNEL that's uncut and commercial free AND gave me enough credit on my next bill to afford to download the ENTIRE final season of Breaking Bad off of iTunes AND my bill isn't going up. Where's the part where they don't care again?

I direct tv ca keep amc I will cancel dish and go to direct tv I'm not paying 97.00a month and not have amc I watch walking dead their remedy is buy a ruku streamer and watch it this customers is cancelling.

Walking Dead is one of my favorite TV shows and I have been waiting patiently for Season 3. I cannot believe they have dropped AMC! Now I am going to look into my options. If I have to drop DISH I will! It is so sad to see things like this happen over money.

You can get the episodes right after they air on ITunes for $3, since I worked when the show was on that's what we did

Or you can just order AMC a la carte for like 1.50 extra per month…

You can watch the walking dead right after it airs, plus if u go to direct u wont get channel.like mtv,.vh1, nick, comedy central. They just lost those channels. And plus this happens to dish a lot I am sure they will get it back before the season starts again.

i dont watch any of those channels only amc tnt n channel 6, 23 for fringe . when i called dish they told me to get a ruku n stream walking dead . theyre still in season 1 they could take off a lot of things or give us a choice to payextra for it n i would our home stations arent free either we have to pay if theres something i like id pay extra fo it my bills already 97 a month but im dropping most of it now ill be moving n when i do ill get direct tv

At least give us the option if we want this channel. If you ask me to I will pay more for it. This is one of the only channels I watch. They told me I could watch it online… Why would I want to watch a show like Walking Dead on a 15 inch screen when I bought a 52 inch TV !???? I want my AMC and if I have to leave Dish to get it so be it !!

From Dish??? They didn't tell me anything about that when I spoke to them !!

Have you ever heard about torrents, people?

Just canceled dish ,moving to Comcast, Iwant my Mac shows

AMC and walking dead are gone – HELL YES! So AM I! I pay $127 a month and Walking Dead is the only show I work my schedule around to watch. Direct TV looks like we will be seeing each other again in September!

WTH ! I was looking forward to the walking dead this fall. who in their right mind would do that ? DISH you just made some farmers here in the East mad !!! prepare to be cancelled and replaced by Direct tv.

I'm pretty pissed about it…I was looking forward to the next walking dead season…then this shit happens… Really? I pay $140 some odd dollars a month, and that was supposed to be EVERYTHING all movie channels and shit. wtf Dish. Figure shit out bro.

see if direct tv has it if they do then switch….if not call dish and complain….

Yeash I'm fucking mad. dish needs AMC.

You can stream with a roku, or playonplugins and get them also through an xbox, playstation3, or wiii for a whole lot cheaper. I have direct and I get everything you can possibly think of. My direct would be gone if I could get hunting channel

walking dead was my favorite show thanks alot you tight ass's.

yea I'm mad AS HELLLLL. Dish, please find a way to negotiate with AMC.

pissed!!!!!!!!! I've been looking forward to watching walking dead for MONTHS on my bday and now I'm screwed!!!!! Who cares about watching movies I want to watch my show!!!!

Fu

First it was BET then it was Fox, then FX and all during times when new seasons of popular shows were beginning. Dish….Amc….GET YALL SHIT TOGETHER!

I'm not upset, especially after reading this article. Due to AMC raising their rates, all cable/SAT provides must offset their cost by raising the subscription rates for their customers? But since DISH opted not to renew the contract with AMC, their rates will remain the same? What is there to be upset about? The Walking Dead was the only program on these channels that I watch any how and I can get the episodes through other means, but I don't think it's right that the providers are raising the customer's subscription. These companies are making tons of their millions of subscribers. Can you imagine if only 1 million of the 14+ million subscribers pay more than $100 a month for the service? However, to be fair, these companies pay a awful lot for channels like HBO. For example, Netflix would have had to pay $200 million a year to keep Starz.

I'm more upset with the comment from AMC. They're only stating their side of why DISH decided to drop them like it's hot:

“It is unfortunate that in retaliation for an unrelated lawsuit DISH is choosing to punish its customers by dropping AMC Networks,” said AMC.

The only problem with this is that if you subscribed to the Blockbuster package, the HDNET Movies channel came with this package. So if you're still subscribing to the Blockbuster ala cart, you didn't gain anything. HDNET and HDNET Movies were two separate channels. HDNET was always free (and they recently changed their name to Axis) and HDNET Movies is the channel that plays first run movies on Wednesdays before they're released to the theater, but only on select movies.

Hi Rich! Where are.you going to watch The Walking Dead? Trying to find the best place myself…I love that show!

I can hardly stand these channels and providers bickering anymore. They always put it out in the public to get us on their side. When we are the ones that are watchimg the damn channels. I'm glad dish said no to the increase and dumped them. I wish the others one would do it also.

Hi Jen. I'll send you a private message.
