CANADIAN PRIME VIDEO subscribers may now sign up for a cable-like bundle of live and on-demand programming after the official debut of Prime Video Channels.
As Cartt.ca reported earlier this week, the lineup at launch includes a package of a dozen Corus’ television services known as StackTV, a Nickelodeon SVoD channel, Starz, linear channels from Hollywood Suite and Super Channel, and existing streamers like hayu.
Prime Video Channels are available as paid monthly subscriptions starting at CDN$3.99 per month after the service’s initial $7.99 per month subscription fee.
Amazon Prime Video VP Greg Hart touted the service’s convenience of a single account, login and user experience, adding that subscribers are not tied to a long term contract and may cancel at any time.
“By simplifying our customers’ entertainment experience all within the Prime Video app, we can make it even easier to select, subscribe and enjoy TV shows and movies from our channel providers, like STARZ, hayu and Nickelodeon,” he said in the news release. “Prime Video Channels also allows us to team up with Canadian content producers and broadcasters like Corus Entertainment to build unique products like STACKTV for our Canadian Prime members.”
