Nothing beats coming home after a long and tiring day to a couch that welcomes you and TV entertainment that is adorned with the best all-time classics. Let’s face it, classic movies have always been quite difficult to find. Of course, nowadays, entertainment buffs resort to streaming services whenever they’re in the mood for some unwinding. But, if you go back 2 to 3 decades, watching a good ole classic movie would’ve caused you a trip to the rental store and back. Before this dilemma could’ve ‘gone with the wind’ (see, what we did there?) classic movies needed their own platform. Thus, a channel was introduced in the mid 80’s, dedicated largely to classic movies produced before the 1950s. Not just any classic movies, these movies were unedited, uncolored and uncut, and aired commercial-free. That channel is still a part of millions of households in the U.S., known as AMC.
AMC is currently available to more than 94 million households across the U.S. and among other TV providers, making that happen is USA’s favorite satellite TV service, DIRECTV. And, being a satellite service, DIRECTV is able to carry AMC from coast to coast—after all, the service is available in the U.S. anywhere you can view the clear southern sky!

AMC was launched in 1984, with an aim to preserve classic films. During its initial years, AMC broadcast marathons of various classics, including Marx Brothers’ rib-tickling comedy films and films made before the 1950s. Later in 1990, AMC began broadcasting marathons of lost films during its annual Film Preservation Festival, in a bid to create awareness and support for film preservation. The aim of the festival was to highlight the behind-the-scenes monetary and technical challenges faced during archival restoration of films.
Later in 1996, AMC aired its first original TV series Remember Wenn, which bagged nods of appreciation from critics and fans alike. However, due to some unforeseen events the show had to be cancelled in 1998. After that, AMC once again limited itself to airing classic movies only. At the same time, the channel also let go of its reputation of being a commercial-free movie channel—AMC started accepting traditional advertising, and by 2001 it was incorporating advertisements into its daily movie telecasts. Soon after, i.e. in 2002, AMC turned a new leaf, rebranded itself, and shifted its focus from airing classic movies only—the channel now focused as much on more recent films. The shift occurred to make programming relevant to the consumer products which AMC was now running advertisements for.
Gradually, AMC started to incorporate its original content back in the broadcasting lineup. In 2004, it aired its first reality series FilmFakers—dubbed one of the meanest reality series by the New York Times. In the period 2003-7, AMC also focused on documentaries about film making like Movies that Shook the World, and Backstory, while it kept its long tradition of airing classic American films.
It was not before 2007, that in a bid to redeem itself among the audience, AMC debuted its first original drama series ‘Mad Men’. The show turned out to be a massive hit. The following year, AMC debuted another original drama ‘Breaking Bad’ that too bagged several awards and critical acclamation.
In 2009, AMC rebranded itself once again and many original series were added to the channel’s new broadcasting lineup. Just like Mad Men and Breaking Bad, the new shows helped AMC break the monotony—while all the existing entertainment channels thus gained another ‘original programming’ contender to watch out for.
Following the 2013 rebranding phase AMC was all set for ‘Something More’—its new slogan. The channel not only set its focus on airing series, mini-series, and theatrically released movies, but ventured into acquired programming too—this included B&W filmed shows and contemporary series.
All in all, if you go for AMC on DIRECTV, chances are, you’ll always have something entertaining to unwind to. But, the real question that now arises is how do you watch AMC on DIRECTV? Well, to watch AMC’s critically acclaimed series and movies from all eras, all you need to do is grab your remote control and enter AMC’s channel number on DIRECTV.
