\n\tSome of the most interesting moments from AMC Global Media in months to come won\u2019t be available on traditional screens<\/p>\n
\n\tThe company that owns AMC, IFC, HiDive and other properties is accelerating a move into unexpected venues, setting up connections with communities in places that may not previously have been associated with TV.<\/p>\n
\n\tAMC has struck a new partnership with Meta, for example, that makes its programs and films available via Meta Quest, the standalone virtual reality headsets once known as Oculus. \u201cWe will be launching a number of our streaming apps on\u00a0Meta Quest, starting with AMC+ later this year,\u201d said Kim Kelleher, president and chief commerical officer of AMC Global Media, during remarks made at a presentation to advertisers Wednesday evening. \u201cOur flagship streaming service will be one of the first entertainment apps available on this groundbreaking device. This is such a meaningful and expansive new partnership for our company and one that underscores our ability to move quickly and innovate to serve our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tUnder Kelleher, AMC has become quite agnostic about the distribution of its programming,<\/a> working to gather impressions from shows that appear on streaming services, FAST channels and placement on the video services of TV manufacturers.<\/p>\n \n\tAMC in June will host a fan event at New York\u2019s Beacon Theater that will have the Vampire Lestat<\/a> perform original music during a live performance following a screening of the premiere episode of the character\u2019s eponymous series, slated to debut on TV on Sunday, June 7. Played by actor Sam Reid, Lestat will be joined on tour by sponsors POM Wonderful and Fender Musical Instruments Corp.<\/p>\n
