Will Amazon Join Netflix, Hulu and YouTube in Producing Original TV?

  • Amazon may have plans to become the latest online player to produce original programming.
  • Netflix, Hulu and YouTube have already set the stage for original content to be distributed via online streaming.
  • Amazon exec Joe Lewis recently described his title on LinkedIn as “Vice-President of Original Television” before changing it to “Vice-President, Production at Amazon Studios.”
  • The company has also reportedly advertised for executive positions for overseeing comedy and children’s series.
  • “The company has charted an aggressive course with its Kindle tablet devices and media services, from books to movies and TV. Its Prime membership service is already a passport to the company’s many services and could grow in the coming years. It isn’t hard to see how beneficial compelling original programming could be to Amazon’s ecosystem,” reports CNNMoney.
