Amazon is shutting down its ad-supported Freevee streaming service, previously known as IMDb Freedive and IMDb TV, and integrating its content into Prime Video. Prime Video will serve as the central hub for a variety of entertainment options, maintaining Freevee originals like Bosch: Legacy and Jury Duty while offering free content access in certain regions. The move aligns with Prime Video’s transition to include advertisements, creating less distinction between the two services and shifting focus to ad-supported streaming within Prime Video.

How Streaming Platforms Are Changing the Way We Consume Entertainment The way we consume entertainment has undergone a massive transformation over the past decade, and streaming platforms have been at the forefront of this revolution. No longer are viewers confined to traditional TV schedules or reliant on physical media like DVDs. Instead, services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video have given consumers the #Changingtheway #ConsumeEntertainment #StreamingPlatforms >>> Read more

RIP Freevee, formerly IMDB TV. This is not a huge surprise and probably for the better from a consumer perspective. There are too many streamers and this move maintains all the content by shifting it over to an existing, more popular platform in Prime Video. This move should slightly bump up Prime’s TV viewing by consolidating eyeballs but will still be a distant second behind Netflix (or 3rd if you count YouTube). I'm actually surprised we haven't seen more consolidation of these streaming platforms this year. https://lnkd.in/eGNjqz6b

You know you’re in a business that matters when lofty publications like The Atlantic weigh-in on 'The Streaming Wars'.    In 'The Dream of Streaming is Dead' (May 16), Jacob Stern scrutinizes the latest bundles from The Walt Disney Company and Comcast to ask if this is any improvement over cable TV. The problem, Stern believes, is that going it alone for the streaming service providers hasn’t actually worked.    We cannot say that. Recent announcements from both Disney and Netflix suggest healthy growth so far this year with Disney+ becoming profitable last quarter. The recent actions taken by the streamers (password sharing crackdown, new pricing tiers) are bringing in more customers and more revenue, and bundling is one of the actions driving growth.   The dream that Stern refers to about streaming being a better, cheaper version of cable was always just that — a dream. Ultimately, someone needs to pay for the content creation — streaming was never going to change those economics. What it has provided is more flexibility and a disaggregation of the larger cable packages, allowing consumers to choose. There is certainly a risk that fixed bundles of streaming services get so large they look more like cable bundles. But consumers want choice: in what services to select, in how to bundle, and on the trade-off between value and flexibility. That's the real dream of streaming, and it's very much alive. https://lnkd.in/eye4tvaH #streaming #cable #TV
