Spectrum and AMC Networks have announced that Spectrum TV Select customers now have access to ad-supported AMC+ at no additional cost, as part of an $80 retail app value package. The streaming service, which typically retails at $6.99 per month, offers premium content including popular originals, new seasons from The Walking Dead Universe, and classic series like Mad Men.

This integration stems from a multi-year programming renewal agreement announced in September. Spectrum TV Select customers who previously subscribed to Ad-Free AMC+ ($9.99/month) will receive a $7 monthly discount. The service includes content from AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited.

Along with AMC+, customers can access other streaming services through the Xumo Stream Box, including ad-supported Max, Disney+, ESPN+, Paramount+, Peacock, ViX, and Tennis Channel, with more services planned for later this year.

Insights

Charter Communications' strategic partnership with AMC Networks represents a calculated move to strengthen its Spectrum TV Select offering in an intensely competitive video services landscape. By integrating AMC+ at no additional cost to customers (a $6.99/month retail value), Charter effectively delivers approximately $80 in bundled streaming value within its traditional cable package.

This arrangement, part of a multi-year programming agreement announced last September, demonstrates Charter's focus on aggregation as a competitive differentiator. By consolidating streaming services (AMC+, Max, Disney+, ESPN+, Paramount+, Peacock, ViX, Tennis Channel) on their Xumo Stream Box platform, Charter creates a more compelling value proposition that addresses modern viewing habits while maintaining its traditional distribution model.

For existing customers, this represents a real cost savings - particularly the $7 discount for current Ad-Free AMC+ subscribers. More significantly, this bundling approach creates a stickier customer relationship by removing the friction of managing multiple streaming subscriptions separately.

The partnership exemplifies cable operators' transition from pure content distributors to service aggregators who curate and simplify the increasingly fragmented streaming landscape. While the financial terms weren't disclosed, the arrangement likely helps both companies - AMC gains broader distribution for its advertising-supported tier, while Charter enhances customer retention through added value without apparent significant additional costs.

This partnership illustrates a sophisticated content distribution strategy from both Charter and AMC Networks. For Charter, bundling AMC+ into its Spectrum TV Select package creates tangible value differentiation in a market where consumers increasingly question the cost-benefit equation of traditional cable.

The implementation mechanism is particularly noteworthy - leveraging the Xumo Stream Box as the integration point for multiple streaming services creates a unified viewing experience that simplifies content discovery across platforms. This directly addresses a growing pain point for consumers navigating multiple streaming services.

From AMC Networks' perspective, this arrangement provides guaranteed distribution and revenue for their ad-supported tier while expanding their addressable audience for advertising. Their position as a mid-sized content producer makes strategic partnerships like this essential to maintain scale against larger competitors.

This deal structure reflects an important evolution in the video distribution landscape - the transition from pure licensing agreements to mutually beneficial partnerships where cable operators provide simplified access and content providers gain distribution scale. The inclusion of previous AMC+ subscribers receiving a $7 discount demonstrates thoughtful customer transition management, potentially reducing churn risk.

The mention of "more streaming services to be included later this year" signals Charter's commitment to expanding this aggregation strategy, suggesting this represents a systematic approach rather than a one-off arrangement.

"Core to our strategy is working with partners to make our popular and critically acclaimed content available to viewers wherever and however they want to consume it, and this collaboration with Spectrum is a perfect example of how to meet viewers where they are with the shows and films they love," said Kim Kelleher, Chief Commercial Officer of AMC Networks. "AMC+ is the home of premium original storytelling for adults, including our biggest franchises, iconic library titles like 'Mad Men,' the best in horror and independent film and other favorites. We are thrilled to expand the universe of viewers who have access to this premium service by including it in Spectrum TV Select packages at no additional cost to the customer through this forward-looking agreement."

Spectrum customers who had subscribed to Ad-Free AMC+, which retails for $9.99/month, and who have TV Select will see a $7 discount on their next bill, representing the monthly price for Ad-Supported AMC+ that is now included with Spectrum TV Select.
