AMC is like MTV now

Remember when MTV played music videos all the time?

Remember when AMC showed classic movies all the time?

Since when is "Two Weeks Notice" a classic?

They have drastically lowered their standards. Nothing done in 2002 can be called a "classic." I remember when it was rare that they showed anything in color or after 1970.

I've become disappointed in the offerings on AMC, too. Luckily, with satellite, I also have TCM and FCM. :P

Here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, AMC has moved from channel 67 to 138 on digital cable to make way for Comcast-owned G4 channel.

TCM is still in the regular line-up (channel 68).

I think American Movie Classics is becoming more like "American Movie Channel", however I can give them a thumbs up for playing "Independence Day" and doing those "Three Stooges" marathons. Of course I think Spike TV got them playing now.

That still doesn't help their programming. :lol:

Yes indeed. I've noticed this for awhile now. It's been on my mind, that may have actually mentioned it before.

I believe Ted Turner bought AMC or something along those lines. The true classics that were on AMC are have been on Turner Classic Movies (TCM).

Talk about it being "American Movie Channel" rather than "American Movie Classics." :D
