American Movie Classics - Definition and Overview

American Movie Classics (AMC) was originally a basic cable channel that aired classic movies, largely pre 1950's, in a commercial free, generally unedited format. It was not uncommon for the channel to host a Marx Brothers marathon, or show such classics as the original Phantom of the Opera.

The network has since changed format somewhat, airing a lot more newer movies. The commercial free format has also been abandoned.

AMC is owned by Rainbow Media Holdings, Inc.

From 1996 to 1998, before the format change, AMC aired its first original series, Remember WENN. It was a half hour show about a radio station during the peak of Radio's influence in the 1930's.
