AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan’s compensation was $14.5 million in 2023, her first year in the top post at the cable channel giant.
According to an SEC filing posted Friday, Dolan’s base salary for the year was $1.7 million. She had $8.8 million in stock awards, $4 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation and $71,000 in “other” pay.
Dolan, the wife of company owner James Dolan, started as CEO of AMC Networks on Feb. 27, 2023, and shortly after stepped down as a member of the company’s board on March 10. Previously, Dolan had served as founder and CEO of TV analytics firm 605.
Her appointment to the CEO position came after Christina Spade, formerly CFO of AMC Networks, stepped down in November 2022 after a very brief stint as CEO, following the exit of interim CEO Matt Blank.

The television industry is at the beginning of an era that can be termed “the great rebundling,” said AMC Networks CFO Patrick O’Connell.
Speaking at a J.P. Morgan conference on Tuesday, O’Connell pointed to the Disney-Charter deal as a model for streaming services moving forward. He argued with more bundling, and more ad-supported linear networks being added to the paid TV ecosystem, these packages will be a better value for customers, rather than subscribing to several streaming services, which have been raising prices and cutting down content spend.
“It’s going to take some time for that to fully play out over the course of 18 to 24 months of affiliate cycle renewals, but we think the tide is turning,” O’Connell said. “And in the interim, what we’re doing at AMC is ensuring that we’re de-risking our financial profile, in light of the fact that the business model was shifting in this way.

Further during their conversation, McCarthy asked Eilish to sign her gown but since Eilish refused to ruin her look, she asked her to sign her face instead. Eilish’s 2024 has been good so far as the singer accepted the Song of the Year for “What Was I Made For?” at the 2024 Grammys with her brother, Finneas.

AMC Networks — the company behind such cable channel brands as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such streaming services as AMC+, Acorn TV and Shudder — reported a 23 percent drop in fourth-quarter U.S. advertising revenue Friday, following an 18 percent decline in the third quarter, a second-quarter drop of 17 percent and a first-quarter decrease of 20 percent.
After returning to streaming subscriber growth in the third quarter after two quarters of declines, the company added 300,000 subs in the fourth quarter to end 2023 with a total of 11.4 million.
The latest quarterly U.S. ad revenue update came for the final quarter of 2023, in which AMC Networks aired such original series as The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Ad revenue dropped to $158 million for the period due to linear ratings declines and a challenging ad market, the company said.

Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell have another hit on their hands with “What Was I Made For,” a track from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie that has already snagged a Golden Globe nomination and five Grammy nominations, including record and song of the year.
On Thursday night in the desert, the song propelled them to the stage to pick up a Chairman’s Award during the Palm Springs Film Awards and Eilish took the opportunity to dedicate the trophy to a target audience while also revealing emotional truths about her life and when she wanted it to end.
“I would really like to say that this award and any recognition that this song gets, I just want to dedicate to anyone who experiences hopelessness, the feeling of existential dread and feeling like, what’s the point, why am I here and why am I doing this?” Eilish explained while standing next...

As the Hollywood actors and writers strikes are behind AMC Networks, CFO Patrick O’Connell told an investors conference the dual labor actions had no material financial impact on the cable channel giant.

AMC Networks missed Wall Street expectations for revenue during its third quarter of fiscal year 2023, citing lower domestic advertising revenues and affiliate revenue as a reason for the 7% drop year over year. That fall was partly offset by streaming revenue growth.
During its third quarter, AMC reported net income of $67.9 million, which included non-controlling interests, or diluted earnings of $1.44 per share. Revenue fell 7% year over year to $636.95 million, the company announced Friday.
Adjusted earnings per share were reported as $1.85, an 11% drop year over year. Diluted earnings per share saw a 26% drop year over year.
According to analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research, the network behind “The Walking Dead” was expected to report earnings of $1.31 per share and revenue of $654.08 million.
Given the difficult advertising environment and the softness the company is seeing when it comes to content licensing revenues, AMC Networks dropped its year end 2023 revenue expectations from $2.8 billion to $2.7 billion.

AMC Networks — the company behind such cable channel brands as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such streaming services as AMC+, Acorn TV and Shudder — reported a 17 percent drop in second-quarter U.S. advertising revenue Friday.
Advertising revenue fell to $167 million “due to anticipated linear ratings declines, softness in the ad market and fewer original programming episodes within the quarter, partly offset by digital and advanced advertising revenue growth,” it said.

As Billie Eilish treated herself to a bowl of soup the day after her headlining performance at the first weekend of Coachella 2022, she learned that Donald Glover was looking for her.
“I was on some management call, and I remember being told, ‘There’s this show, but it’s during a period of time where you’re not available. It’s a pass,”’ she says about the first time she heard about Amazon Prime Video’s “Swarm.” “I was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck are you talking about? This is my dream!”’
The daughter of actors Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell, Eilish grew up acting in plays, but as her pop music stardom grew, she shelved those ambitions. “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna do this anymore.’ I did, but it’s always been a deep thing that I’ve been reluctant to talk about because...

In a moment where even the biggest players in the world of entertainment are moving to consolidate their streaming properties, it is almost inevitable that the smaller companies would eventually look to do the same. On Wednesday, while speaking at the Gabelli Funds 15th Annual Media and Entertainment Symposium, AMC Networks’ executive vice president and chief financial officer Patrick O’Connell said that his company was looking into the possibility of some sort of “self-bundle” to bring together its myriad streaming services, something that has seemed to make sense for quite a while for the embattled company.

There could be a future in which AMC Networks bundles all of its brands into one streaming service. Executive vice president and chief financial officer Patrick O’Connell talked about the possibility on Wednesday during the Gabelli Funds 15th Annual Media and Entertainment Symposium.
Over the past several months, more and more companies have consolidated their streaming platforms. HBO Max and Discovery+ merged to form Max; Showtime and Paramount+ are combining later this month thanks to Paramount+ with Showtime; and Disney has announced it wants to combine Hulu and Disney+ into a single all-in-one platform. O’Connell noted that this combination strategy doesn’t currently make sense for AMC Networks, but it could in the future.

AMC Networks is scaling back on its programming and marketing spends starting this year, according to executive vice president and chief financial officer Patrick O’Connell. The exec took the stage Wednesday at the Gabelli Funds 15th Annual Media and Entertainment Symposium to address what the financial future of the company entails.
“So I think over the last couple of years — AMC, to a lesser degree, but the industry broadly — overspent on programming, overspent on marketing as well,” O’Connell said.
According to O’Connell, before the Covid-19 pandemic, AMC Network’s cash content spend averaged between $950 million and $1 billion. That increased to “about $1.35 billion” last year.
“We’ve made a commitment to take that back down to pre-pandemic levels. It’ll be closer to $1.1 billion this year, and we’ll likely float down even further closer to the $1 billion dollar range going forward,” O’Connell said. “We think that’s the...

AMC Networks’ new CEO Kristin Dolan on Tuesday outlined her priorities during her first earnings conference call appearance for the company, which operates such cable channel brands as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such streamers as AMC+, Acorn TV and Shudder. Optimizing financials and brand impact by making AMC hit content available as widely as possible — including through licensing to other companies, while also looking for opportunities for further streaming subscriber growth — are among her goals, she said.
In Tuesday’s earnings report, she had emphasized: “In an environment of shifting consumption, we are committed to making our content available across the entire distribution ecosystem. While we reevaluate the pathways to content monetization, we are strategically reducing costs and streamlining our organization.”
She added: “These efforts contributed to a first quarter with strong margins and increased streaming revenue as we prioritized higher-value subscribers for our streaming portfolio.

AMC Networks saw its streaming revenue jump 29% year over year to $141 million in the first three months of the year despite slipping subscriber numbers.
The parent of IFC and Sundance TV said it grew streaming subscribers about 22% year over year to 11.5 million from 9.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. While a big jump from last year, that represented a decline from 11.8 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, even amid the premiere of the hit “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches,” which has already been renewed.
“While this represents a slight decline from last quarter, the bigger context is our focus on attracting and retaining higher value subscribers,” CEO Kristin Dolan said on the conference call to discuss the results. She said “Mayfair Witches” was the most-watched season of any show on its services and channels.
AMC Networks reported revenue of $717.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, up less than 1% from $712.2 million in the year-ago first quarter.

Former CEO, COO and CFO Christina Spade received a total pay package of $21.3 million last year, AMC Networks revealed in an SEC filing issued on Friday. Spade was promoted to CEO from Sept. 9, 2022, only to abruptly step down from the job on Nov. 28, 2022.

AMC Networks, the cable TV company behind such brands as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such online video services as AMC+, Acorn TV and Shudder, hit 11.8 million streaming subscribers in the fourth quarter.
That’s up sequentially from 11.1 million paid subscribers at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as streaming revenues rose 35 percent to 502 million. Overall revenue jumped 20 percent to 965 million, compared to a year-earlier 803.71 million. That beat an overall revenues expectation of 947.78 million, according to a Refinitiv consensus.
The adjusted per-share earnings came to 2.52 against a year-earlier 54 cents a share, which blew past a Refinitiv estimate of 1.20 per share. But an operating loss of 391.6 million, compared to a year-earlier profit of 63.6 million, included 449 million in restructuring costs and related charges, mostly related to domestic operations and non-cash programming write-offs.
That followed layoffs across the company. Severance and other personnel costs came to 45.2 million. Amid an advertising slump,...

In a February 9 court hearing, “Ocean Eyes” singer Billie Eilish was granted a five-year restraining order against 39-year-old Christopher Anderson, an alleged fan and intruder who had broken into her childhood house in Los Angeles. Her parents, who still live there, and brother Finneas O’Connell will also receive protection.
Eilish filed for temporary protection last month, detailing that she and her family had called the police on Anderson five times after he showed up repeatedly at the home since late December 2022.
According to her father Patrick O’Connell, Anderson had also professed his love for the 21-year-old singer and stated that that he really wanted to meet her.
The order means that the accused will not be allowed 91 meters of her and is also prohibited from reaching out to her on social media.

Billie Eilish has been granted a five-year restraining order against a man who broke into her childhood home to “profess his love” for her.

AMC Networks said on Tuesday that CEO Christina Spade “has stepped down from her role” without giving details about the reason.
The news came as a surprise as Spade had only taken over the role as of Sept. 9. A successor wasn’t immediately named.
“The AMC Networks board of directors is currently finalizing who it will name as a replacement, with an announcement to follow,” the company, which operates such cable networks as AMC, IFC and Sundance TV, as well as such streaming services as AMC+, Acorn TV and horror-focused Shudder, said on Tuesday.
AMC Networks chairman James Dolan said: “We thank Christina for her contributions to the company in her CEO role and her earlier CFO role, and we wish her well in her future endeavors.”
A representative said the company had no further comment.
A regulatory filing later on Tuesday morning added some color.

There’s an emotional realness to singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, a disinclination to disguise experience behind euphemism or pretense.
It manifests in her music and in Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, the Oscar-contending documentary that follows her on her journey to global stardom. In the film directed by R.J. Cutler Eilish doesn’t censor dark moments from her past, occasional frustrations attendant to fame, and a major romantic disappointment—young love ultimately unrequited.
When it came time to discuss the documentary publicly for the first time, Eilish brought the realness again, admitting to an audience in Hollywood that she felt anxious as the film was about to be released on Apple TV+.
“I was excited and scared and nervous, and worried and hopeful,” she told attendees at a post-screening Q&a. “It was not acting, I wasn’t playing a character. It was real life footage of my life…...

In fact, it’s legendary: the place where a prodigal teenager and her older brother recorded the album that made Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell the queen of Gen-z pop.

Actor Jim Parsons may have wanted to move beyond The Big Bang Theory given the stunning announcement that he turned down millions of dollars to sign up for Season 13, but his passion for television obviously hasn't left him. It seems that he is currently developing a new multi-camera sitcom (which is the kind shot in front of a live audience) called The Inn Crowd. Designed for NBC, the focus of the show will be on a gay couple running a small town resort, and it's inspired by an article in The New Yorker written by Tony Horwitz. That piece discussed the controversy surrounding the Inn at Little Washington — owned by Patrick O'Connell and Reinhardt Lunch — in Rappahannock County, Va. According to comingsoon.net, "while their inn attracted big-name celebrities, many opposed the duo's ambitious expansion plans.
