AMC Networks Inc. used last night’s episode of “The Walking Dead,” the most popular drama on cable television, to warn DirecTV subscribers they could miss future episodes because of a contract dispute.
Onscreen prompts led DirecTV viewers to a website that urged them to “make your voice heard.” AMC’s other cable channels, IFC, Sundance Channel and WEtv, could also go dark when the current deal expires at year-end, according to Georgia Juvelis, an AMC spokeswoman.
