Well, if you are a fan of Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or The Walking Dead and you are a Dish Network subscriber you are not going to be very pleased with this news.

Dish network has officially dropped the AMC networks from it's line up. This includes AMC, IFC, WE TV and Sundance.

Dish has said it dropped AMC because the price to carry the channel was going up too high. The company has also expressed concern about many AMC shows being available on other services such as iTunes and Netflix soon after the shows have aired.

AMC claims that the real reason has to do with a legal fight the two companies are engaged In 2008 when AMC sued Dish for breach of contract regarding a distribution agreement.
