AMC Networks Head Josh Sapan on Mergers: ‘We Don’t Feel Any Need to Be Larger’

AMC Networks president and CEO Josh Sapan said he is not feeling any pressure to engage in a merger like those proposed at Time-Warner and AT&T or Viacom and CBS.

“We have operated — and I hope proven out — that what’s most important is to have content that people really desire,” he continued.

“So if we have shows on that people want, and they really want them, and they’re vocal and their intention is high, that really accrues benefit to us whether we’re this size, this size, or this size,” he concluded.
