I'm not suggesting you are wrong (personally, I haven't a clue whether or not it will come to VM) but AMC and BT sport are completely different kettles of fish.
Pretty much everyone knows about what BT sport brings to the table, and it's appeal is wide. But the ordinary man in the street probably hasn't a clue what AMC is. Would VM be prepared to pay BT for something that is of minority interest?
And as I've said previously, show wise, it's only currently got two new exclusive shows; and only one of those has got any popular buzz. The other, Rectify, originated on the Sundance channel and probably has minority appeal.
Obviously AMC will add new shows in the future, but as of now, it's not unmissable viewing apart from Fear of the Walking Dead.
