Collier Wants To Take AMC To "New Heights"
A year or so since taking the reins as general manager of cable network AMC, Charlie Collier is doing just fine. His channel won two Golden Globe Awards last week for "Mad Men" and has just rolled out
its second original series, "Breaking Bad." And now the network seems to have a leg up during the writers strike and is rapidly gaining attention from the ad community.
Current strategy, Collier says, is to "combine our great movie library with high-end originals that can complement it." He adds that "AMC just came off its most-watched season ever. We see 2008 as an opportunity to reach new heights."
