Through this deal, the network which had 300,000 subscribers was able to greatly expand carriage to most of TCI's 3.9 million subscribers. The agreement also gave CBS partial ownership in the regional sports properties which had already become a joint venture with The Washington Post (the Post did not have ownership in Bravo or AMC).
Near the end of 1984, CBS and Cablevision announced a deal to have CBS take 50% ownership in the Rainbow Service and Rainbow's marketing. Cablevision began packaging AMC and Bravo together as the Rainbow Service.

In 1984, Rainbow added another new network to its portfolio, American Movie Classics (AMC) which initially featured "classic" pre-1970 movies. Playboy also bought out Rainbow's share in The Playboy Channel, although it would continue to market the channel for the next few years. In 1983, three other regional sports networks were acquired: PRISM New England (soon to be relaunched as SportsChannel New England), Philadelphia-based PRISM, and Chicago-based SportsVision. Cablevision transferred control of its previously launched regional sports network SportsChannel New York to Rainbow. In the years that followed, the three other cable companies would exit the partnership, leaving Cablevision as the sole owner of Rainbow by 1983. By the end of that year the network would relaunch as The Playboy Channel.
In August 1981, Playboy Enterprises became half-owner of Escapade which introduced a new programming block to the channel in early 1982. By July 1981, both channels expanded their offerings to seven nights a week. Due to the involvement of the four cable companies, the new service quickly gained subscribers. The hybrid service, which broadcast nightly on satellite time subleased from the National Christian Network featured culture events network Bravo on Sunday and Monday nights and adult-oriented B movie network Escapade the rest of the week. The first service to come out of the partnership was launched on December 8, 1980. When Rainbow Programing Services was formed in mid-1980, it originally was a joint-venture of four cable television companies: Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications, and Daniels & Associates. The company is majority-owned and controlled by the Dolan family. The company was originally launched in 1980 and formerly known as Rainbow Media Holdings, LLC (or alternately Rainbow Programming Holdings), a subsidiary of Cablevision, but was spun off as a publicly traded company in July 2011.
Due to this relationship, AMC Networks additionally maintains a minority share in the US operations of the British-TV streaming service BritBox, a joint venture between the BBC and ITV plc. Through joint ventures with BBC Studios, the company manages BBC America and BBC World News cable channels in the US. The company operates in Europe & Latin America through its international division, AMC Networks International.
