AMC Networks is rolling out cheaper, ad-supported tiers for all of its niche streaming services after putting ads on its flagship AMC+ bundle late last year.
The new versions will all be up and running by the end of the 2024-25 upfront, the company said Monday. It will convene its annual upfront presentation to ad buyers on Wednesday night in New York.
Subscribers to AMC+ opting for the ad tier also get ad-supported versions of Shudder, Sundance Now and IFC Films Unlimited. But subscribers to those services outside the bundle have not previously had the option of a lower-priced version with sponsored breaks. In the planned rollout, ads will come to the individual services as well as AcornTV, HIDIVE and ALLBLK, which are not currently part of AMC+.
The aim of the expansion in streaming is to give advertisers options alongside linear TV and FAST channels. Like many pay-TV programmers, AMC Networks has been making several strategic moves to respond to declines in traditional linear TV subscribers driven by cord-cutting. Last February, it reported a 23% decline in fourth-quarter advertising revenue compared with the same period in 2022.
Kim Kelleher, chief commercial officer of AMC Networks, called last year’s launch of an ad tier on AMC+ “a major step in creating a fully end-to-end ad-supported distribution ecosystem across linear, streaming and CTV/FAST.”
In addition to the streaming news, the company also said it is expanding Audience+, the advanced insights and data targeting platform it introduced last year in an industry milestone. It said more than 70% of its linear distribution now features addressable ad technology, which allows for significantly more precise targeting than via traditional Nielsen gender and age
