• AMC Uses 'Walking Dead' Fans to Push DirecTV to Renew Contract Before Blackout

    "The Walking Dead" may be equaling ratings gold for AMC since its return to the Sunday night line-up, with the series actually topping "Sunday Night Football," but there is actually some trouble brewing behind the scenes. The network first tipped off fans last night to the fact that its current contract with DirecTV as a carrier is set to expire in a few weeks. While you would think the provider would be jumping through hoops to secure AMC Networks, that simply is not the case.
