AMC Channel Reaches Hrvatski Telekom

AMC Networks International Central and Northern Europe (AMCNI CNE) and Hrvatski Telekom in Croatia have entered a framework agreement to bring the AMC movie channel to Hrvatski Telekom’s MAXtv subscribers.

For the August launch on Hrvatski Telekom’s MAXtv platform, AMC will air season one of The Walking Dead: Tales of the Walking Dead, with the first episode to bow on August 19. Additional titles on the slate include season one of Troppo, season two of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Jumper, Pitch Black, Unbreakable and more.

Balázs Hajós, VP of affiliate sales for AMCNI CNE, said: “The agreement provides opportunity for a wider circle of Croatian subscribers to the carriage of our popular channel AMC. AMC, both the channel and the company’s ten-year presence in the Balkans, is a stable cornerstone for us, amplifying that there is a need for exciting, premium content as well as great movies we all love to watch. We firmly believe in content investment as the driving force to attract viewers. By providing rich, locally relevant films and series through Hrvatski Telekom, the leading Croatian operator, we intend to serve the demands of Croatian households for quality television programs.”
