Matthew Weiner, creator of hit show "Mad Men," is fighting with AMC, which has asked him to cut six characters and three minutes from each show, so the network can sell six more 30-second spots.
Weiner is outraged at the demand, reports
The Wrap. AMC claims the move is intended to save costs -- at the same time, parent Cablevision is spinning off its Rainbow Holdings, which includes
AMC, Sundance, IFC and WE TV, in an IPO. If successful, Rainbow CEO Josh Sapien stands to gain $25 million, sources told
The Daily.
