Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1197
Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Sunday and as you know, on Sundays, I like to answer questions from the community and this one’s interesting one, because it’s more to confirm a rumor that somebody heard.
I got a question from someone who was asking if it’s true that Amazon had bought MGM Studios, and the impact this has on streaming and Alexa.
Well, it is indeed true, Amazon bought MGM Studios for $8.45 billion and that makes it the company’s second largest acquisition since Amazon acquired Whole Foods and that was back in 2017.
So MGM Studios, they’re the ones that make the James Bond series, along with 4000 other films and 17,000 TV shows.
it means that you will be able to access these types of films and TV shows on your Echo Show devices
So what does that mean? Well, it means that looks like going forward, we’re going to be seeing a lot more video content that is going to be available on Amazon Prime for streaming.
And what does that mean? Well, of course, it means that you will be able to access these types of films and TV shows on your Echo Show devices.
So yes, it is true and this is setting up Amazon to be even bigger competitor when it comes to other services like Disney Plus, HBO, Netflix, etc.
So very interesting, we’ll have to watch this space to see where things go at this point but certainly, we’re gonna see more Prime Videos, offerings coming forward in the future, and you’ll be able to watch them on your Echo devices.
Alright, so have a wonderful Sunday, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
