Just received a letter stating that AMC will NO longer be available with Videotron as of Feb. 12, 2018...WHAT??? They have to be kidding me!!!!!! I guess that I'll be going back to Bell- they have it!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yeah, I just saw on Cartt.ca that Videotron found AMC to be too expensive.

Yep, got the same letter. I wonder if AMC raised their prices or is Videotron cutting costs? I'm thinking of Bell as well but are they thinking of cutting AMC as well. Not worth jumping over if Bell cuts AMC as well down the line.

We got the same letter this afternoon. I don't care for Bell, but it's a concern if they decide to cut AMC.
What other alternatives do we have.

Do as a did... Just watch your AMC show on Netflix... The only problem with this solution is that you will have to wait one year. On the plus side, you will be able to binge watch all the episodes the same day instead of on each week.

... and to add insult to injury, I just got an email stating that the 15 Channel Show-Time option will increase 95 cents and the Internet Hybrid Fibre 120 will increase 1 dollar per month. Talk about bad timing.

I wonder if the monthly cost of the "A la carte" Move Network package will be adjusted after AMC is removed.

I called customer service about AMC and they gave me a $3 rebate for 24 months on the Superstations package (which included AMC).

Maybe but AMC is gonna get cancelled on the Super Channels too.
So what difference does it make ?

I started shopping at Bell last week who told me they are not dropping AMC but I have been with videotron for decades and wonder how the service is with them. Any comments? Thanks
I had been with Bell for over 40 years, and left them about 6 months ago due to their inability to deliver on many promises to install fibe in my apartment building. I had Bell Satellite (which was excellent), a land line and internet. Internet was very slow: maximum download speed was 6 MB/S. Certainly not sufficient for streaming HD content. Videotron came in at a similar price with download speeds in excess of 100MB/s. That was the only reason I switched to Videotron. While I am really upset that they are removing Amc from their lineup, it is not a dealbreaker. However if I see them removing other channels such as FX or TCM, then I will need to consider other alternatives such as switching back to Bell Satellite TV. In my opinion, what they should have done was offer a streaming only option for AMC. While it wouldnt have been a perfect solution, it would have helped.

I have AMC and Sundance and both are being discontinued. The only offer that customer service had was to assist in changing channels. There are no other movie channels in my package. They suggested FX Canada. Murdoch mysteries over and over.
They need to to at least offer some alternative.
