LONDON: Reuters launched on Friday a new video news channel on the Amazon News app that will be available to stream on all Fire TV devices in the US.
Fire TV customers will be able to view Reuters news reports through video segments of two to three-minute clips of each story. Reuters global video coverage will be distributed continuously in 30-minute feeds, updated to reflect the most important stories.
“Bringing Reuters news to the Amazon News app on Fire TV allows users to tap into Reuters trusted global intelligence to help them to stay informed of the most important news of the day and to make smart decisions in real time,” said Josh London, head of Reuters Professional and chief marketing officer.
“By engaging new audiences across streaming services and other platforms, we’re meeting them on the devices they find most convenient and adding to the billions of users already reached by Reuters every day.”
Amazon’s news app will be available for free on Fire TV and will be supported with advertising.
The app comes built into the Fire TV experience on all Fire TV streaming media players and smart TVs in the US.
With customizable features, users can select the news that matters most to them from national and local sources.
