AMC Drops ‘Networks,’ Re-Titles Corporation AMC Global Media

The company that made its name with TV programs like “Mad Men,” “The Walking Dead,” Hell on Wheels” and “Breaking Bad” is breaking up with some of its old-school nomenclature.

AMC Networks is dropping the second half of its corporate moniker, and will re-title itself AMC Global Media, a reflection of the company’s growing focus on streaming media and international operations. The company reaches subscribers in more than 100 countries and territories around the world, with a presence in Iberia, Central Europe, the United Kingdom and Latin America.

The company announced the move in a filing Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Our new name reflects the ongoing transformation of our business into a global media and studio-driven company, with streaming out front as our leading source of domestic revenue,” said Kristin Dolan, the company’s CEO, in a statement. “AMC Global Media produces and curates high-quality content and distributes it to viewers around the world through a variety of platforms and partnerships.”

AMC’s title switch comes as its best-known business — entertainment-focused cable networks — are grappling with declines in subscribers and advertising revenue as consumers migrate en masse to streaming options. AMC said in February that its 2025 revenue from advertising fell 15%, to $477 million, while distributoion revenue dipped 13%, to $588 million. Revenue from streaming , however, rose 12%, to $677 million, largely in part due to price increases across its services — a sign that subscribers are willing to pay more for what they get on broadband outlets that include AMC+.

AMC isn’t the only media company seeking a closer association with all forms of distribution. A+E Global Media christened itself as such in March of last year, dropping “Networks” from its corporate name after decades of being associated best with cable networks like Lifetime, History and A&E.

AMC Global Media is focusing efforts on the launch of “The Audacity,” a new drama set in Silicon Valley. Other new series include “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” slated for AMC+, and “You’re Killing Me,” a series starring Brooke Shields, on Acorn TV. The third season of “The Vampire Lestat” debuts in June.
