The battle for exclusive streaming content continues with another deal that has been inked between Amazon and CBS. This morning they have announced a multi-year deal that brings three new CBS Summer Series to Amazon Prime members through 2018. The deal will bring you summer series shows 4 days after they air to Prime Video for your streaming pleasure at no additional cost.
“Prime members have loved having access to series like Under the Dome and Extant just four days after broadcast, and we’re excited to continue to offer in-season availability of more great CBS summer series over the next three years,” said Brad Beale, Amazon Vice President of Digital Video Content Acquisition. “We are also always working to ensure our Prime members have the best selection, and we know they will continue to enjoy unlimited access to a wide array of CBS titles to binge-watch anytime, anywhere.”
“We’re thrilled to build on our relationship with Amazon with new original summer series and more programming from CBS and SHOWTIME,” said Scott Koondel, Chief Corporate Licensing Officer, CBS Corporation. “With a truly original, genre-bending concept from outstanding creative auspices, BrainDead will be one of the most talked-about shows next summer by CBS viewers and Prime members.”
Amazon recently made offline viewing available for all Android devices back on the 1st of September. Adding in content from CBS is going to an awesome addition for those who pony up the funds for the yearly Amazon Prime membership. If you have yet to pull the trigger for Amazon Prime, they are always offering a free 30 day trial to give their services a shot.
