Already available in the U.S., Canada, Japan, U.K. and Germany, Prime Video Channels is meant to serve up a traditional broadcaster alternative where convenience is the name of the game. All Prime Video Channels content is available through the Amazon Prime Video app, on any compatible device, using the same user interface and charged in the same monthly bill.
The add-on subscription service will bring channels including Starzplay, MGM, Nick Jr.’s Noggin and OUTtv to these territories, with the offering differing somewhat between each country. Many of them will come with a free trial period.
Starzplay originals likely to be on offer include crime drama Godfather Of Harlem and quirky superhero series Doom Patrol, while Noggin is bringing kids shows such as Dora The Explorerand Paw Patrol.
“By simplifying our customers’ entertainment experience all within the Prime Video app, we make it even easier for them to select, subscribe and enjoy their favourite TV shows and movies from our channel providers, adding to the great range of entertainment already available through Prime Video with a Prime membership,” said Julian Monaghan, director of Amazon Prime Video Channels EU.
