BT’s AMC channel is leaving the Sky platform, making the ISP’s own TV service the exclusive outlet for the channel.

Launched in 2015, AMC gives BT subscribers access to a number of first-run US dramas including Fear The Walking Dead, horror anthology series The Terror and the Pierce Brosnan western, The Son.

Until this week BT offered the channel both to BT TV customers and to those subscribing to its BT Sports pack on Sky, however this second option is now being withdrawn.

Confirming the channel’s withdrawal from Sky, a BT spokesperson said: “BT TV customers will continue to enjoy great and exclusive content including Fear the Walking Dead and the brand new series, The Terror: Infamy, starting next week on the AMC Channel.

“From tomorrow Sky customers with BT Sport will no longer have access to the AMC channel.”

BT is reassuring customers that previously recorded programmes will be accessible for as long as they remain a BT Sport subscriber on the Sky platform.
