Amazon announced on December 3, 2025, the rollout of a dedicated news destination within Prime Video, according to the company's press release. The streaming platform will provide US customers with access to local, national, and world news coverage from major networks directly through the Prime Video homepage at no additional cost. The feature began rolling out December 3 and will reach all US customers by the end of 2025.
The news hub aggregates content from ABC News Live, CBS News 24/7, LiveNOW from Fox, CNN Headlines, and NBC News NOW among hundreds of other channels. Prime Video plans to expand the selection to more than 200 channels by year's end, according to the announcement. Customers can access the news destination through the top navigation bar throughout the Prime Video application, which operates across thousands of compatible devices.
The integration of free news programming represents Amazon's expansion beyond entertainment content into information services. Prime Video introduced advertisements in January 2024, creating new advertising inventory across its streaming platform while developing measurement tools for campaign performance analysis.
