\n\tAMC Networks<\/a> is changing its name to AMC Global Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe name change is effective Wednesday, with the company filing new articles of incorporation in Nevada to reflect the new brand.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC Networks is rebranding itself to distinguish itself in an environment where TV networks are becoming less and less important to the strategic priorities of their parent companies.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC, in particular, has put more focus on its streaming platforms AMC+, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK, HIDIVE and All Reality, as well as its AMC Studios business. <\/p>\n

\n\tOf course it also continues to operate cable channels like AMC, BBC AMERICA (which includes U.S. distribution and sales responsibilities for BBC News), IFC, SundanceTV and We TV, but while those were once the heart of the company\u2019s business, streaming has upended entertainment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur new name reflects the ongoing transformation of our business into a global media and studio-driven company, with streaming out front as our leading source of domestic revenue,\u201d AMC Global Media CEO Kristin Dolan said Wednesday. \u201cAMC Global Media produces and curates high-quality content and distributes it to viewers around the world through a variety of platforms and partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe name change comes as AMC is set to launch a series that is has high hopes for: The Audacity, set in Silicon Valley and from creator Jonathan Glatzer, a veteran of Better Call Saul and Succession. The Audacity debuts this weekend on AMC and AMC+. The company will also host an upfront advertising event later in the month.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext month The Terror: Devil in Silver, will hit AMC+ on May 7, and You\u2019re Killing Me, a new series starring and executive produced by Brooke Shields will premiere on Acorn TV May 18. In June AMC will premiere the third season of Interview with the Vampire, now called The Vampire Lestat.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company is controlled by the Dolan family, with James Dolan serving as chairman of the board.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC Networks is actually the second media company to rebrand with the suffix \u201cGlobal Media\u201d in recent memory.<\/p>\n

\n\tA year ago A+E Networks took the name A+E Global Media<\/a> in a similar shift, as it de-emphasized pay-TV in favor of its studios business, streaming efforts, and digital ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AMC Networks is changing its name to AMC Global Media.
