Dish dropped carriage of the AMC Networks the end of June, replacing the network with HDNet movies.

"Dish claims to put its customers first yet they've taken away Dish viewers' favorite scripted drama series, AMC's The Walking Dead," AMC Networks said. "Dish dropped our networks not because of ratings or rates. In fact, Dish has not discussed rates with us at all. Dish customers have lost some of their favorite shows, because of an unrelated lawsuit, which has nothing at all to do with our programming."

However, the Breaking Bad season five premiere will still be available via AMC’s live stream on Sunday, July 15 at 10PM EST.
