It just astounds me how the channel was able to turn around it, and be so successful so quickly.
How were they able to do it? Did they just luck out with Mad Men and Breaking Bad? Seems like more than just luck.

AMC has been around for like 20 years. Only within the last few in Canada and yeah, it used to be a classic movie channel only, but they switched formats a couple times, sunk money into making these new shows and yeah, they hit it big with Mad Men, then Breaking Bad. Not sure how their ad revenue is doing, but they've got a lot of good publicity for their amazing original series. The Emmy Awards AMC just got speak for themselves.
