Hollywood Braces for Writers Strike Impact on Sci-Fi and Fantasy Projects.

AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan said the company is "very well positioned" to manage through the WGA strike, with no real concerns about the writers strike at this point. The company relies on advertising revenue, which dropped 20% due to anticipated linear ratings declines, softness in the advertising market, and fewer original programming episodes. Streaming has been an increasingly important strategic objective for the company, shedding 300,000 subscribers in the quarter, settling at 11.5 million.
