We’re excited to extend our partnership with SKY after the successful debut of Sundance Channel in Brazil last year. We’re looking forward to offering audiences across the country the inimitable combination of AMC’s first-run original dramas and extensive library of popular movies. We’re thrilled to be the exclusive broadcaster of the companion series for The Walking Dead<\/em> and to bring this show to a global audience within 24 hours of the U.S. premiere later in the year.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEW YORK: Early next month, AMC Networks International is set to launch the AMC channel in Brazil via satellite pay-TV operator SKY.
