Advertising revenues increased
$21,876
primarily due the inclusion of the results of BBC America as well as increases at WE tv, IFC and SundanceTV, partially offset by a decrease at AMC primarily due to a decline in ratings over the prior comparable period as well as the performance of certain original programming. Most of our advertising revenues vary based on the timing of our original programming series and the popularity of our programming as measured by Nielsen. Due to these factors, we expect advertising revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
|
•
|
Distribution revenues increased
$68,728
due to an increase of $45,468 principally from affiliation fee revenues across all of our networks, with the largest increase at AMC. The increase in affiliation fee revenues resulted from an increase in rates, primarily at AMC. Additionally, distribution revenues also increased due to an increase
in digital distribution, licensing and home video revenues derived from our original programming. Distribution revenues vary based on the impact of renewals of affiliation agreements and the timing of availability of our programming to distributors. Because of these factors, we expect distribution revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
|
•
|
The increase in total revenues, net of $90,604 includes $40,914 due to the inclusion of the results of BBC AMERICA for the three months ended
June 30, 2015

Advertising revenues increased
$74,412
primarily due the inclusion of the results of BBC America as well as increases across all networks, primarily at AMC, resulting from higher pricing per unit sold due to an increased demand for our programming by advertisers, led by
The Walking Dead
. Most of our advertising revenues vary based on the timing of our original programming series and the popularity of our programming as measured by Nielsen. Due to these factors, we expect advertising revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
|
•
|
Distribution revenues increased
$130,359
due to an increase of $40,968 principally from digital distribution and licensing revenues derived from our original programming, primarily at AMC and SundanceTV. In addition, affiliation fee revenues increased across all networks due to an increase in rates during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in distribution revenues for the
six
months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is not indicative of what we expect for the remainder of 2015. Distribution revenues vary based on the impact of renewals of affiliation agreements and the timing of availability of our programming to distributors. Because of these factors, we expect distribution revenues to vary from quarter to quarter.
|
|
•
|
The increase in total revenues, net of $204,771 includes $77,549 due to the inclusion of the results of BBC AMERICA for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
.
