Amazon's FAST service seemed redundant after Amazon launched the Prime Video ad tier in January. With the subscription tier making money from subscription fees and ads shown on Prime Video with ads, it made little sense for Amazon to continue with Freevee, which only has the latter revenue stream.

Amazon is consolidating its video content and putting it in one place to keep things simple, according to the company.

Amazon has confirmed it is shutting down Freevee, its free ad-supported streaming service, and folding it into Prime Video.

While specific viewership data remains undisclosed, Amazon reported a tripling of Freevee's monthly active users between 2020 and 2022, reaching 65 million. That substantial user base will be added to the platforms existing audience. This will only strengthen Prime Video's position in the streaming market.

The newly rebranded FanDuel Sports Network will be available as an add-on subscription for Prime customers living within the team's designated geographic area.

Diamond Sports has reached a deal with Amazon Prime Video to start streaming their 16 regional sports networks. Here's everything to know.
