Amazon Prime Video is shutting down its 'Prime' free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel in Germany and Austria after just 15 months, highlighting challenges in this streaming model. Instead of continuing with curated FAST channels, Prime Video is focusing on expanding its more profitable Prime Video Channels service, which bundles third-party streaming services like HBO Max and Apple TV with unified billing. Recently, Prime Video added several new third-party services for subscribers in Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland, aiming to become a leading entertainment hub in Europe. This move reflects a strategic shift away from free ad-supported channels toward subscription-based partnerships.
