NEW YORK (AP) -- AMC Networks is planning a public offering of $600 million senior notes due 2022.
The owner and operator of cable television brands including AMC, Sundance Channel and WEtv, said Monday that it plans to use the offering's proceeds to pay back about $587.6 million outstanding under a facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the offerings. Remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
