AMC was toe-to-toe with TCM back in the ninties. They had classic movies, commercial-free, uncut in their original aspect ratio. Then, they added commercials. Then, they introduced more modern films. Then, they began to cut for time and content and present movies in pan and scan. They’ve been hit or miss with their original TV shows, but I have no interest in watching a chopped-up movie on there.
I miss the old AMC with old time movies uncut.
I still remember when I realized they were dead to me. They were playing the original Friday the 13th as a classic movie.
