As part of the new pact, AMC Networks’ ad-supported streaming service AMC+, which offers same-day access to all AMC original series and content from Shudder, Sundance Now and IFC Films Unlimited, will be included at no additional cost for Charter’s Spectrum TV Select customers. Charter will make AMC+ available for purchase for its online-only customers.

Financial terms of the contract extension agreement between Charter and AMC Networks were not disclosed.

“This agreement with AMC Networks supports our goal of increasing the value and diversity of premium entertainment content available to our customers,” said Tom Montemagno, Executive Vice President, Program Acquisitions, Charter. “The addition of AMC+ at no additional cost to our TV Select customers builds on our new distribution pipeline, which this year included the addition of Paramount+ Essential, ViX Premium with Ads, Disney+ and ESPN+. We appreciate AMC Networks’ partnership in reaching a distribution agreement that benefits our mutual customers and helps transform the video industry.”

“This early, multi-year agreement between Charter and AMC Networks ensures that Spectrum TV customers will continue to have access to our high-quality original programming however they prefer to watch it, including through ad-supported versions of AMC+,” said Kim Kelleher, AMC Networks Chief Commercial Officer. “Charter has been a long-time partner, and this agreement reflects our strong, mutually beneficial relationship and commitment to our viewers.”
