AMC Networks announced it is rebranding its MGM Channel as “AMC.” The rebrand marks the first distribution outside of North America for AMC, one of the most popular and award-winning brands in television.

AMC will begin launching locally-versioned channel feeds on key cable and satellite platforms across Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East later this year. Also accompanying these channels will be authenticated AMC VOD, HD and “TV Everywhere” services.

AMC Networks original series Halt & Catch Fire and The Divide, produced by AMC Studios, will be among the first original series to premiere on the channel internationally in an exclusive first TV window, this year. In addition to premiering original programming from AMC Networks’ own studios, AMC will also feature popular, acclaimed films from the world’s biggest film libraries, including MGM, Paramount and Sony.
