…giving them an additional week to remember that they need to get a new Cable provider setup ASAP in order to continue watching the amazingness that is – The Walking Dead. It’s kind of like a cruel tease where the first taste is free. Though in all honestly it is an awesome bonus to current DISH subscribers and will hopefully resolve the unrelated lawsuit that is in the works which is causing this dispute to begin with – or give you time to switch providers.
In response to DISH taking away its customers’ favorite scripted drama series on basic cable* — The Walking Dead — AMC is offering all DISH subscribers a special live stream of the hit show’s season three premiere episode on Sun., Oct. 14, at 9PM ET/6PM PT on AMCtv.com. This streaming event will run concurrently with the television debut so DISH subscribers who are fans of the series can experience this highly-anticipated premiere at the same time it’s available to all other cable and satellite subscribers.
Beginning Fri., Sep. 28 at 9 AM ET, DISH subscribers can register for access to the free live stream of The Walking Dead at http://www.amctv.com/thewalkingdead4dish/.
AMC stated: “To gain leverage in an unrelated lawsuit, DISH has decided to deny their customers access to AMC shows including The Walking Dead, the series that has shattered basic cable ratings records. Although The Walking Dead is the #1 basic cable scripted drama for DISH customers, DISH has stated it has no plans to bring back AMC. DISH customers who want to watch the entire season at the same time as the rest of the country should switch television providers now…time is running out.”
