Well, AMC got it half-right.
The cable network just launched its own streaming-service — AMC Premiere — giving viewers commercial-free access to its slate of shows, as well as unedited movies, for $5 a month. Fans of “The Walking Dead” and “Better Call Saul” can also watch new episodes online at the same time they’re airing on TV. That’s good.
The bad part is, users aren’t able to completely cut the cord. AMC Premiere viewers have to sign up for an account with Comcast Xfinity TV to enjoy the service. The streaming deal is linked to Comcast, where AMC Premiere customers can stream their content through the Xfinity Stream website or mobile app.
