Other assets

AMC Networks International

On October 28, 2013, AMC Networks announced it would acquire most of Chellomedia, an international operator of cable networks, from Liberty Global for around $1.04 billion. The acquisition did not include Chello Benelux, owners of Film1 and Sport1.[3] On February 2, 2014, the transaction was completed.[4] What was formerly Chellomedia is now known as AMC Networks International and will allow AMC Networks to distribute its programming worldwide.[5]

BBC America joint venture

On October 23, 2014, AMC confirmed it had purchased a 49.9% stake in BBC America, with BBC Studios retaining the remaining share of the network.[6] The joint venture will also give AMC, which itself distributes the BBC World News channel in the United States, operational control in BBC America, which will be managed as a stand-alone from AMC's other channels.[7][8][9] AMC bought out the BBC's 50.01 stake in November 2024, although the BBC still remains connected to the channel.
