And we’ll get started with our next session. I am pleased to welcome to the stage Sean Sullivan, EVP and CFO of AMC Networks. He has held that position since 2010. Sean in partnership with CEO Josh Sapan has helped transform AMC from a classic movie channel into one of the fastest growing programmers in the country with hit original series like The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Better Call Saul just to name a few. He is also been instrumental in helping drive AMC’s international expansion over the past few years. So thank you very much for being here Sean.
Yes, thanks for having me.
I suppose if I make the most sense in sort of address the elephant in the room. There has been some press reports over the past day or so talking about AMC making a bid for stars and could you give us a little bit of context and sort of on that?
Sure, so I think it's only natural progression in the state of the ecosystem...
