Shudder
Finding out that AMC own Shudder is kind of a dissapointment. I have had the app for months and barely use it because there are better apps with similar content on my Roku. Maybe it will get better as time goes on.

AMC's Local Moves
I think it is interesting that AMC is focusing on that region; I wonder why? I also find it odd that they would be producing news content, I feel as though that is stretching themselves a little thin.

Re: AMC's Local Moves
perhaps this region is known for being receptive to new digital media? So it's a good test market for trying things before doing something too risky in an established market. It's the same reason why PBS stations seem to be on the cutting edge of media experiments -- everyone wants to try out a deployment on a media property that has a lot of eyeballs but maybe not a lot of $$$ at stake.

AMC TWD
I thought The Walking Dead was all that played on AMC these days...
Seriously, these are really interesting advancements in entertainment and delivery

Re: Shudder
I'd never heard of shudder before.
Even though it's not as good as a roku, would you recommend it for mobile viewing?

Re: AMC TWD
I like that they made the TWD premiere available for streaming without a subscription. :)
But now that you mention it, now that Breaking Bad & Mad Men are over, aside from TWD & Better Call Saul, I don't think I watch anything on there. If I do, it's on Netflix or Hulu so I don't realize it's AMC's content.

Re: AMC's Local Moves
I miss being able to watch PBS content online. They have such great quality programming, but as a cord-cutter I have to catch the shows when they air live, since they've made most of their online content for donors only.
(I get that they need to be able to fund it all and would gladly pay if I could
afford to - just selfishly I wish they still had it for free!)

Re: AMC's Local Moves
I agree. I wonder if they are acquiring existing stations, so it's more of an investment than hands-on operational?

Preempting Piracy
If the reality that content is being pirated and available online by 6:30pm, I don't see why they wouldn't just make shows legally available to stream the same time they air.
It strikes me that content providers are still in a mindset of placing a premium on on-air, live viewing and are losing potential revenue by not just making it legally available sooner.

Re: Shudder
It's actually just an app that provides content in the horror genre. The selection and UI just aren't as good as some others out there right now.
