Verizon dropping AMC?

Watching Land of the Dead tonight on AMC and a quick white banner jumps on and off the bottom of the screen. But I caught a few words of the text. Anyone else catch it say, "Verizon being dropped by AMC" or something similar....???

I don't think we were meant to see it but I did. It lasted only 2-3 secs and was yanked fast! Are we going to be held hostage now too? I dropped Optimum because of nonsense like this. Nothing worse than the providers and networks forcing the viewers to do their dirty work for them while screwing us out of what we pay for.

Hi All-

I'm THRILLED to announce that Verizon and AMC have reached a deal to continue carrying the network's programs! There will be no interruption to your channel offerings, so you don't have to worry about missing a minute of your favorite show.

Thanks for sticking with us!

I saw the same message on the screen as well. I thought I was the only one. I would so drop Verizon if this were the case hopefully it was a mistake and therefore pulled from broadcast  immediately.

Being a mistake is what scares me. It's not like they meant to say Dish or another channel...  So chances are it was not a mistake but what may be on the near horizon. How about it Verizon? Read these? What you not telling us....?

I have been a Verizon Fios customer for over two years.  I have enjoyed the services I have received with no complaints. 

One of the biggest benefits I have enjoyed is having the lengthy list of channels and programs to chose from.  The most important of the cable channels being AMC.  Their programming is second to none and we are loyal watchers of many of the AMC programs: Mad Men, Walking Dead and the Killing.  We have enjoyed them so much we have purchased some them on Blue Ray. If Verizon discontinued offering AMC and WE tv we would immediately seek out alternative cable options and discontinue cable service with Verizon. 

 

I would appreciate Verizon doing everything it can to continue providing customers with these valuable services.

Dear Verizon,

I've just been informed that there is a possibility of you dropping AMC. 90% of my favorite programming is on AMC. I'm afraid you will losing not only myself and family as loyal customers, but also a couple of friends I've recommended Fios to as well. Please do everything in your power to keep AMC. Look at what happened to Dish when they lost them for the few weeks. It was't pretty.

Verizon,

            Do not drop AMC! I am a loyal customer like so many others that will most likely post here. However, I watch many AMC shows including The Walking Dead. If you drop them it will strain my loyalty and influence my decision as to who has their customers best interest in mind.

Please don't drop AMC from the current line up. I enjoy the programming and don't want to go back to my old cable provider.

You will lose my business.

Thanks for the attention in this matter.

Two people in my household and both watch AMC weekly for several shows. Should you drop AMC from your service then you will be choosing to drop me as a customer. Comcast is constantly calling, same price, and no threat of loosing AMC. Your choice.

Thanks,

Paying Customer.

AMC is one of the maybe 5 channels I actually use on Cable, So dropping it would be a great reason for me to move to Comcast or just drop your TV package all together and just stream/download everything.

Dropping Walking Dead, Talking Dead and Comicbook Men? Not a smart move Verizon. I'd happily pay comcast a bit more if they will actually give me the programming I want.
