What is included with amazon prime tv

Amazon Prime is exceedingly popular, with estimates showing that nearly 1/3rd of Americans are Prime subscribers. The service has a LOT to offer, from 2-day shipping to an extensive video library of on-demand movies and shows. But one area that many people aren’t aware of is Amazon Channels, a subsection of Amazon Prime Video. These channels let you expand your entertainment options even more – we’ll cover more details in the Amazon Prime TV Channels list below.

Amazon Channels are third-party channels that are available for an extra fee for Prime subscribers. Some of the most popular include HBO and Showtime, but there are many other options.

Essentially, these channels expand your viewing options beyond what is already offered in Prime Video. They cost extra (typically $2-$15/mo extra). Most channels offer a free 7 day trial.
