Whatever the ultimate cost to Amazon Prime Video for exclusive streaming rights is a veritable drop in the bucket for the streaming giant. The cost of the show as shopped to CBS (and presumably other networks) is estimated at somewhere north of $20 million. For these, and other reasons, this streaming partnership makes good sense.įor Amazon Prime Video, this is a no-brainer. Today, People consume content in different ways, and our collective tolerance for commercials and being held captive by content that’s not captivating is rapidly waning. I think this is the first of more exclusive streaming agreements we’ll see, especially as it relates to awards shows, which have increasingly declined in popularity as audiences have fairly quickly grown bored by a format that is both dated and affords an arduous and often interminably long viewing experience.

I got the chance to pop on Cheddar TV this afternoon to talk briefly about it, so I figured knocking off a quick fast take on this might be warranted. Country Music Awards Partners with Amazon Prime Video for Streaming of Tonight’s Awards ShowĪnalyst Take: The news of the Academy of Country Music Awards announcing tonight’s show would be exclusively live streamed on Amazon Prime Video is pretty big news on the streaming front. Whether the "Are you listening?" behavior is a defect/bug or by design, only Amazon can fix it - asking Roku to be your middleman with Amazon isnt likely to go very far or be very effective, especially considering this isnt some widespread issue preventing you from loading/using the app (if it were, then asking for Roku's collection/transfer involvement might be effective) - you need to focus on getting Amazon to change/"fix" their app.The News: In a new twist on awards shows, the Academy of Country Music Awards has partnered with Amazon Prime Video for live streaming of tonight’s awards show hosted by Dolly Parton. The same is true for Amazon Music - Roku doesnt code/control the app in general or its specific "Are you listening?" behavior - Roku just collects information about the AM app and passes it along to Amazon (for them to "fix" or not, because its their app). Roku isn't solving Amazon's Prime issue for you (depending on the issue), but passing the information along to Amazon for them to fix (its their app). Every time I've had issues with Amazon in the past (Prime Video not working, for instance), when Roku requests the information I've just alluded to, the problem has been resolved. That's the information that will help them REALLY tell if it's their issue, or Amazon's.

serial number, device ID, Software OS/version, tracker number). So, I'm hoping an Roku agent will respond to this, and request detailed information about my device (e.g. If this is an Amazon issue, I'm out of luck, because they won't claim responsibility. Playlists are pausing after one hour, now.

So, if Amazon Music Unlimited does include uninterrupted play, they certainly don't advertise (9.11.21): I take back what I said below. Side note: Uninterrupted play time isn't listed as a benefit in any comparison list I've seen between Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. Still, it would be nice if they'd be more transparent about it. Ostensibly to manage their streaming bandwidth? I think this is an Amazon practice, not a glitch. So, there must also be a control set for Playlists that only allow them to play uninterrupted for 3 hours, or so, before pausing. I suspect it will definitely play longer than a station, but maybe not 3 hours?Īlso, after doing an online search for this behavior, I've seen several comments dating back a number of years about stations only playing for an hour on Amazon Prime Music before pausing and asking if you're still listening. To get an accurate result, I'll have to try another playlist and see how long it goes before it pauses. It paused after about 3 hours on song number 17 in the list, and asked if I was still listening. I selected a playlist of 27 songs, and set it to repeat.
