From hot new episodes of Mad Men to top films from every genre, Shaw and Shaw Direct customers will be the first in Canada to watch AMC in High Definition (AMC HD) starting September 1, 2009.

AMC HD will offer viewers outstanding original programming, including episodes from season three of the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning series, Mad Men, Emmy award-winning series Breaking Bad and the highly-anticipated mini-series The Prisoner in November. AMC HD will also offer movie buffs extensive film choices in broad-based genres from every decade.

Shaw and Shaw Direct HD customers will enjoy three free months of AMC HD. From December the channel will be available as part of Shaw's HD Plus package and Shaw Direct's HD Extra package.

Good news. Even better news because I've already got the plus package!

Good news as far as Mad Men goes. I can't stand AMC's movie editing though

Oh well, as long as it comes with the package I already have for no extra money I won't complain about another HD channel.

I have to agree with that statement 110% in regards to the editing for content in the movies they play. The commercials I can deal with due to the PVR skipping. But overall I'm glad to have more choice in HD channels and I hope for more to come in the near future.

I wonder if we will get amc hd in Sault Ste Marie...Probably not, we have not even gotten The big ten Network hd or Golf Hd here yet..so i'm not counting on amc hd to show up here.

Typical american censorship, no cussing or sex, but killing hundreds of people with lots of blood perfectly fine.
