AMC Networks is accusing AT&T of abusing market power in order to unfairly advantage its own networks, HBO and TNT

Though much of the complaint is redacted, AMC appears to be complaining that AT&T is seeking to limit AMC’s ability to make its content available on digital platforms, such as Hulu and Amazon Prime. AMC also complains about AT&T’s proposed pricing, arguing that the terms would cut into AMC’s ability to compete for high-quality programming on an even playing field with HBO and TNT.

According to the complaint, which was filed on Wednesday, AT&T subscribers account for about a quarter of AMC’s households. AMC is asking for a standstill order, which would require AT&T to continue to carry AMC’s networks at current rates and terms while its complaint is adjudicated. An AT&T spokesperson denied the allegations, and argued that its proposed carriage terms are based in part on declining demand for AMC’s shows.
