Amazon Channels: costs and all information

With "Amazon Channels" you can book individual channels for a fee for your Prime membership and thereby receive a more diverse range. In this practical tip, we not only tell you how "Amazon Channels" works, but also how expensive it is.

How does "Amazon Channels" work?

You can now add your own channels to your Prime membership with "Channels" on Amazon. Which of the 26 channels you currently choose is up to you.

• It is possible to book film channels, such as MGM, as well as sports channels (e.g. Sportdigital HD) or knowledge channels (e.g. GEO Television). You can find an overview of all stations here.
• At Amazon you can find the channels in the "Amazon Video" section. There you can view the different channels and also get an overview of what to expect from the individual programs.
• Similar to television, each station has its own program, which you can call up at any time. There are no fixed broadcast dates. You decide when you want to watch a film or a documentary.

What are the costs of "Amazon Channels"?

If you decide on a channel, you can book it for a fee. However, this is only possible with an existing Prime membership - even if it is still being tested. We show you what prices you can expect in addition to the prime costs.

• The prices per channel are very different. You have to expect amounts between 1.99 euros (eg for "E! Entertainment" and 7.99 euros (eg "ZeitAkademie Selection) per month).
• You can test each transmitter for 14 days free of charge, from then on the paid subscription begins. This can be ended at any time via the account.
• If you only want to watch individual videos of a channel, you can also buy or rent them and decide against the subscription.
