ALLBLK ("all-black"; stylized as ALLBLK or allblk; ALLWAYSBLK in Canada and the Caribbean; formerly Urban Movie Channel, UMC) is an over-the-top SVOD service operated by AMC Networks. It was formed by Robert L. Johnson (the founder of Black Entertainment Television, whose parent company operates BET+) in November 2014.[1][2][3]
The service features original movies and television series aimed at African American audiences, including live stand-up performances, documentaries and reality series, and stage plays.[4]
On January 6, 2021, Urban Movie Channel relaunched as ALLBLK.[5] The Canadian and Caribbean versions of the service remained under the UMC name until May 2022, when they rebranded as ALLWAYSBLK.[6]
