Speaking on the company’s first-quarter earnings call, Dolan said AMC Networks is in good shape “through this year and into next year, so we have no real concerns about the writers strike at this point.”

Guild members officially began striking a week ago and early indications are that the labor impasse could last for months. The impact has been spreading across the TV landscape, with late-night shows going dark and other productions gradually being disrupted.

The company shed 300,000 subscribers in the quarter, settling at 11.5 million. It has previously set a target of 20 million to 25 million streaming subscribers by 2025, indicating that streaming will soon overtake traditional linear TV as a revenue source.
