|
The decrease of $27.3 million in advertising revenues was due to a decrease of $34.6 million at AMC due primarily to the timing of our original programming as well as lower ratings, partially mitigated by pricing. The decrease at AMC was partially offset by increases at all of our other networks. Most of our advertising revenues vary based on the timing of our original programming series and the popularity of our programming as measured by Nielsen. Due to these factors, we expect advertising revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
•
|
Distribution revenues increased $4.8 million due to an increase of $5.5 million in content licensing revenue, primarily at AMC, from foreign distribution. Subscription revenues decreased slightly as compared to the prior comparable period due to lower subscribers and the impact of an interpretation of a contractual provision in an affiliate agreement, partially offset by pricing. Distribution revenues may vary based on the impact of renewals of affiliation agreements and content licensing revenues vary based on the timing of availability of our programming to distributors. Because of these factors, we expect distribution revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.

The decrease of $14.0 million in advertising revenues was driven by a decrease of $33.5 million at AMC due to lower ratings, partially mitigated by pricing. The decrease at AMC was partially offset by increases at all of our other networks. Most of our advertising revenues vary based on the timing of our original programming series and the popularity of our programming as measured by Nielsen. Due to these factors, we expect advertising revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
•
|
Distribution revenues decreased $25.5 million due to a decrease in content licensing revenues of $29.4 million from lower foreign distribution revenues derived from our original programming, primarily at AMC. Subscription revenues increased $4.0 million resulting from an increase in rates, partially offset by lower subscribers and the impact of an interpretation of a contractual provision in an affiliate agreement. Subscription revenues may vary based on the impact of renewals of affiliation agreements and content licensing revenues vary based on the timing of availability of our programming to distributors. Because of these factors, we expect distribution revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
