Latin America. AMC Networks International announced an agreement with DirecTV Latin America to broadcast the channel in the region for the first time. From now on, it will be available in seven countries including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
AMC Latin America presents series such as the drama "Halt and Catch Fire", produced by AMC Studios. In addition, it includes films from some of the largest bookstores in the world, such as MGM, Paramount and Sony.

This new agreement allows us to build on this success, growing the AMC brand internationally and creating a wide-ranging platform for our original content. DirecTV has made great strides in Latin America and we are very excited to partner with them to bring AMC's outstanding programming to audiences in the region."
