\n The television industry is at the beginning of an era that can be termed \u201cthe great rebundling,\u201d said AMC Networks CFO Patrick O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n

\n Speaking at a J.P. Morgan conference on Tuesday, O\u2019Connell pointed to the Disney-Charter deal as a model for streaming services moving forward. He argued with more bundling, and more ad-supported linear networks being added to the paid TV ecosystem, these packages will be a better value for customers, rather than subscribing to several streaming services, which have been raising prices and cutting down content spend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to take some time for that to fully play out over the course of 18 to 24 months of affiliate cycle renewals, but we think the tide is turning,\u201d O\u2019Connell said. \u201cAnd in the interim, what we\u2019re doing at AMC is ensuring that we\u2019re de-risking our financial profile, in light of the fact that the business model was shifting in this way. Notwithstanding the fact that we think we\u2019re net winners in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n AMC Networks, he argued, \u201coverdelivers audience vis-\u00e0-vis our current affiliate share\u201d in its linear business, which he believes can translate to the streaming business. This argument comes after the company recently reported fourth-quarter earnings that saw an increase of 2.7 percent in its streaming subscribers, to reach 11.4 million, and a drop in U.S. ad sales by 23 percent year over year, amid what the company saw as a\u00a0 tough advertising market and an ongoing decline in linear TV ratings.<\/p>\n

\n The company notably owns The<\/em> Walking Dead<\/em> franchise and the Anne Rice universe, in addition to more than 7,500 TV episodes and more than 1,500 movies<\/a> domestically, and licensing content. Its studio business gives it the option to \u201cnot just program our own networks but have optionality around driving programming elsewhere,\u201d O\u2019Connell said. That was the case with the television show Silo, which AMC Studios produces after originally developing it for AMC.<\/p>\n

\n While he called that deal a \u201cone-off,\u201d since the margins on that business and the risk profile in that business can vary based on the deal, O\u2019Connell said the company may consider it for the \u201cright sort of economic and risk profile.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe always have the option to do that. It\u2019s not necessarily baked into our guidance, but to the extent that we\u2019ve got projects internally that may or may not make sense for us or if something else comes to the fore, we could obviously lean further into that business,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n As for how the company thinks about balancing licensing out its content versus keeping it on its own platforms, O\u2019Connell said the company is \u201cexecuting a classical media<\/a> playbook\u201d where it will take the first-window domestic rights, with some exclusive content on AMC+ and live on the AMC Network, and then look to see where else that content could go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe had done, I think, a lot less of that than others over the last few years. And so we had the benefit of releasing some of that content into the wild onto other platforms in the last 12 to 18 months. And that\u2019s the play that we\u2019ll continue to run,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
