AMC Networks, co-owners of cable channel BBC America, are cutting jobs, with around 100 US-based staff expected to leave before the end of the year, at a cost to the company of between $20m and $25m.
They say it's a restructuring to focus more on streaming services. Reports say they are ahead of target to reach 5.5m subscribers this year. Their services include Acorn TV - which, in replaying UK content, is in direct competition with BritBox. Uncomfortable.
