Is the battle between streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon bringing classic television back to us? It almost seems so. Amazon has brought “Freevee” – its own free streaming service – to Germany. Own productions will also be shown there.
Amazon Freevee is integrated into the Amazon website as a separate channel. In contrast to Amazon Prime, the free service is financed by advertising revenue. A subscription is not required. All you need is an Amazon account. here it’s a choice.
Own and third-party productions
“We are offering users an offer that they would typically expect behind a paywall,” the official statement said. The aim is to provide customers with a mix of their own productions and films as well as series from other companies. Classics such as “Who disturbs the nightingale” can currently be found on the website.
Also included:
- “Bosch Legacy”
- “2 Broke Girls”
- “People of Interest”
- “Broadchurch”
- “The Centenarian Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared”
- “Zoolander”
There are also nine live channels including BBC Food, BBC Travel, BBC History and Top True Crime.
Incidentally, Amazon Freeve was still called IMDb TV until April 2022. The streaming service was previously only available in the United States and Great Britain. After Germany, the next European station is called Austria. In the fight for customers, Amazon also recently increased the subscription price. From September 15, an account will no longer cost 69, but 89.90 euros.
