I want to know the answer to the following question:
By what year was AMC showing commercials?
All the background I'm provided with is that "AMC had broadened its film content to feature colorized and more recent films by 2002 and abandoned its commercial-free format, leaving TCM as the only movie-oriented cable channel to devote its programming entirely to classic films without commercial interruption.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
