ALLBLK (typeset as ALLBLK in press materials but stylized allblk in its logotype; pronounced as "all-black"; ALLWAYSBLK in Canada and the Caribbean), formerly Urban Movie Channel (UMC) is an over-the-top SVOD service operated by the AMC Networks. It was formed by Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, in 2014.[1][2]
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.[3]
On January 6, 2021, Urban Movie Channel relaunched, as ALLBLK.[4] The Canadian and Caribbean versions of the service remained under the UMC name until May 2022, when they rebranded as "ALLWAYSBLK".[5]
