They both showed classic black-and-white movies with no commercial interruption. I stopped watching both stations for a while but when I came back, AMC had commercials and stopped showing classics. Don't get me wrong; I applaud AMC for coming up with original programming. I was a fan of their show "Remember WENN" back in the 1990s. I just miss having another station that shows movies from 1930s-1960s.

That's what I love about TCM--they're uninterrupted. I also watched Breaking Bad on AMC and look forward to it starting up again. I think it's interesting to see how they're moving away from what they started with and doing well with independent programming--tons of Emmy awards!

The only time I watch AMC now is for Mad Men. AMC used to show great black-and-white films, too, but now their idea of “classic” doesn’t seem to go back any further than the 1980s :-p.
