"Amazon Prime reached a deal to become the exclusive premium streaming service "
The exclusivity is a real problem! And with something like PBS??? My family uses Netflix to watch many PBS shows like Dinosaur Train and now can't do that anymore. Screw you Amazon!
Edited to add: And Screw you PBS!

- goldenkey 10y agoIt takes two parties to make a deal. And when one of them is a huge corp like Amazon, it is more plausible that PBS was "made an offer they couldn't refuse." Amazon is known to use underhanded tactics to monopolize markets. (Ie. Removing competitor items from their stores.)
- JshWright 10y agoAmazon is the one who chooses to block access on a wide range of media players (Chromecast, Apple TV, etc), in order to try to push their Fire TV platform. We are Amazon Prime subscribers, and I wouldn't mind this a bit if I didn't have to either use an arcane interface on my BluRay player, or buy a separate dedicated media play in order to watch Amazon content.
- georgestephanis 10y agoWhy not just use the PBS Kids app? My daughter adores it.
- r00fus 10y agoDoes it have past episodes of all the shows?
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoMaybe if PBS was better funded thru all channels they wouldn't feel the need to do this.
