According to AMC Networks' Q3 2025 earnings report, the company experienced a significant shift in its business during the July-September period.

The company's CEO, Kristin Dolan, stated that this performance marks a "key milestone" in AMC Networks' transition from a cable networks business to a global streaming and technology-focused content company.
