Amazon Prime to Stream Country Music Awards

Amazon Prime Video will be the exclusive home of this year’s “Country Music Association Awards.” The show will air live on November 14 at 8 PM ET.

This is the first time that the awards show will be available to stream live on a subscription service. In the past, it has only been available on broadcast television.

The show will feature performances from some of the biggest names in country music, as well as the presentation of awards in categories like Song of the Year and Entertainer of the Year.

Amazon Prime members in the U.S. can watch the show live by logging in with their Amazon account information. Non-members can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime to watch the awards show live.

Why is this a big deal?

The fact that the show will be available to Prime members is a big deal because it opens up the possibility for more people to watch the awards show. The Country Music Awards are typically only available to watch if you have a cable subscription, but with Amazon Prime, anyone with an internet connection can watch the show. This is a huge step forward for country music and it will be interesting to see how many people tune in to watch the awards show through Amazon Prime.

What does this mean for the future of streaming?

This news comes on the heels of Amazon’s recent announcement that they will be streaming the NFL’s Thursday Night Football games this fall. With Amazon making a push into live sports streaming, it appears that the online retailer is serious about taking on established providers like ESPN and Fox Sports.

The Country Music Awards are one of the biggest nights in country music, and this partnership with Amazon represents a major coup. The awards show will be available to stream for free to all Amazon Prime members in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, and Japan.

This is just the latest example of Amazon using its Prime platform to lure users away from traditional TV providers. In addition to live sports and now awards shows, Prime offers its users a growing selection of original programming, including The Grand Tour, The Man in the High Castle, and Transparent. With so much content available, it’s no wonder that Amazon is quickly becoming a go-to destination for streaming video content.
