AMC has announced plans to launch in the UK this September in an exclusive arrangement with BT TV.The new channel will include the UK premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, though viewers familiar with AMC in Europe will know the channel does not yet reflect the breadth of original content seen in the United States.

Apparently this channel is a rebrand of the MGM Channel.

Meanwhile, C4 is at this very moment broadcasting, free and OTA, 'Humans', a co-production with the US arm of AMC - the AMC Channel that brought forth Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc. Opening on the US AMC channel on June 28.

Seen in that light, BT's deal doesn't look so impressive. Cheers, C4.
