BT announced it has become the first major UK pay-TV provider to offer Amazon Prime Video access via a set top box after signing a similar deal end of last year to sell Sky’s low-cost OTT TV service Now TV to BT TV customers.
The move forms part of BT’s ambition to offer BT TV customers unrivalled choice through partnerships with the world’s best content providers.
With the launch, BT TV customers will be able to access the Prime Video App, allowing them to sign-up and watch thousands of TV episodes and movies.
The move also means BT TV customers will be able to access every Premier League match from the 2019/20 season, with customers able to sign-up for Amazon Prime as well as BT Sport and Sky Sports via their set top box.
Tony Singh, Content and Business Development Director, BT's Consumer Division
We’re delighted to be the first UK pay-TV service to offer Amazon Prime Video content to our customers. BT TV gives our customers the flexibility they want to watch all their favourite shows – and of course all the sport – in one place and on one bill.
Brett Ballbach, Business Development Director for Prime Video Europe
We want Prime members to be able to watch all their favourite content when they want, on any device they want, and Prime Video is already available on thousands of devices, from Smart TVs to games consoles to tablets & mobile devices.
