Amazon Prime Video to Stream Country Music Awards
On the heels of Amazon Prime Video’s recent announcement that they will be the exclusive home of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football games, the company has now revealed that they will also be streaming the 2018 CMA Awards.
The Country Music Association Awards are set to take place on November 14th in Nashville, and will feature performances by some of country music’s biggest stars. In addition to being able to stream the awards show on Amazon Prime Video, viewers will also be able to watch it on ABC.
This is just the latest award show that Amazon has secured streaming rights to, as they have also recently streamed the Emmys and the Golden Globes. It seems that Amazon is serious about making a play for live events, and with their deep pockets, they may be able to poach more and more exclusive events from traditional TV networks in the future.
Why is this a big deal?
The Country Music Awards are one of the biggest country music events of the year, and Amazon Prime Video will be streaming the awards show live for the first time ever. This is a big deal for Amazon, as it continues to expand its live streaming offerings and compete with other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.
The Country Music Awards will be held on November 8, 2017, and will be available to stream live on Amazon Prime Video in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, and Japan.
What does this mean for the future of streaming?
The news that Amazon Prime Video will be the exclusive streaming home of this year’s Country Music Awards marks a shift in the streaming landscape. While the CMAs have always been available to stream, this is the first time that they will be available exclusively on a streaming platform. This move signals a shift in the way that major awards shows are being distributed, and it could have a major impact on the future of streaming.
This change could mean that more and more awards shows will be exclusive to streaming platforms, as they look to lure viewers away from traditional television. This could lead to a situation where people need to subscribe to multiple streaming services in order to watch all of their favorite shows. It could also lead to increased competition between streaming services, as they battle for the rights to major awards shows.
Only time will tell what the long-term impact of this change will be, but it is clear that it could have major implications for the future of streaming.
Conclusion
This year, the highly-anticipated awards show will be available to Amazon Prime Video customers in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. So whether you’re a country music fan or just looking for something new to watch, be sure to check out the Amazon Prime Video app on your favorite device.
