Amazon launches prime video channels for Canadian subscribers

Amazon announces the launch of prime video channels (a version of online cable package similar to traditional TV bundles) for its Canadian users. The channels will be available via the existing Prime Video app and subscribers can watch them anytime and anywhere on their preferred mobile devices and smart TVs.

By paying a monthly subscription fee of $12.99, subscribers can pick and choose from 13 channels of live and on-demand programs, which is almost like a mini cable package in itself.

Greg Hart, Vice President of Amazon Prime Video commented: “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.”
