AMC is an American cable television channel that began in late 1980 as Montage, a service offered to Cablevision subscribers in New York City, and took the name American Movie Classics in 1984. In its first form it showed vintage black and white films uncut and without commercials, first as a premium service and from 1998 as an advertising-supported one. In 2002 it relaunched with a more contemporary film focus and later became known for original drama series, among them Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and The Walking Dead, which in 2014 drew the largest audience for a non-sports program in the history of American cable. Its parent company is now AMC Global Media, and its audience of roughly 60 million pay-TV households in December 2024 reflects the wider decline of cable subscriptions.
