Spectrum to Launch New AMC Premium Channel Package

Spectrum is pairing up with AMC (American Movie Classics) to launch a premium VOD/streaming service coming to STB's. Early talks are that it is going to be $4.99/mo. And will include the following channels:

*AMC Premiere- Like the AMC channel now, but without ads.
*Shudder-Horror movies and series
*Sundance Now- Like Sundance channel but with no ads.
*UMC- Urban Movie Channel- Movies, series, and sitcoms, geared for African Americans.
*Acorn TV- An American subscription service offering television programming from the United Kingdom, as well as Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Spain. (Commercial Free.)

I saw the Halloween-Movie (1978) version in a search on my ODN Navigator box, but it said that "Your current subscription (Gold) does not include this channel." With an option to upgrade. I also have the Guide set to the "Subscribed" filter so I don't know what channel number it will be when it comes, or even if I have a purchase option already. Whether or not this is coming to a package like Spectrum Gold, I do not know.

Hopefully, it will remain Ala-carte to keep package costs reasonable.
