Access to Prime Video Channels is a fantastic benefit of a Prime Video subscription. It’s a great way for streaming users to find new services to try, and the platform is augmenting its selection this week by incorporating several new ad-supported streaming options for its customers to pick from.

  • Paramount+ Essential is now available to subscribe to via Amazon’s Prime Video Channels.
  • Ad-supported plans from Max and AMC+ are also available on the platform.
  • Users can potentially look forward to a new bundle of Paramount+ and Apple TV+ in the near future as well.

More Choices on Prime Video Channels

The Prime Video Channel marketplace is an excellent hub for streaming users. It allows subscribers to combine all their various streamers onto one bill, and browse new services in order to find the perfect streaming companion. Now, customers can snag a subscription to Paramount+’s ad-supported Essential tier on the platform.

Paramount+ Essential costs $5.99 per month and allows the user access to the streamer’s full on-demand library. Titles like the new “Frasier” reboot, the new original movie “FinestKind,” the upcoming second season of “Halo,” and of course the NFL playoffs, including Super Bowl LVIII. Previously, Prime Video Channels users have been limited to the $11.99-per-month Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

Prime Video Channels also offers ad-supported options of streamers like Max and AMC+, as well as free streaming options like ViX Gratis and others! If you’re looking to bolster your streaming lineup with a less-expensive ad-supported streamer, Prime Video Channels has a great variety for you to choose from.

What Are the Benefits of Ad-Supported Streaming?

The main advantage of ad-supported streaming is that it is often significantly cheaper than ad-free plans. Paramount+ Essential is only half the cost of its ad-free counterpart, for example, and a report from October indicates that the average customer could save hundreds of dollars per year by switching to plans with ads as opposed to continuing with only ad-free streamers.

The best news for streaming customers is that streaming platforms usually offer significantly fewer ads per hour than cable or broadcast TV, which usually top out at 15 to 20 minutes of ads per hour. Most streaming platforms are closer to five minutes of ads per hour of content or less, and ad breaks help mimic a traditional TV-watching experience while still giving the user the power of choice that an on-demand streaming service offers.

Prime Video Channels is all about letting the user choose for themselves, and now subscribers have a fantastic array of new choices. Ad-supported plans of Paramount+, AMC+, and Max are available on Prime Video Channels now, allowing users to better customize their suite of streaming services to suit their budget.
