This probably kills linear tv.

Is this the thing that will finally get channels to stop pushing sports subscriptions, clips, fake news at me? So I can enjoy the content I choose?

Then I'm all for it.

At first glance, it looks preordained that the DOJ will sue on antitrust grounds. Or maybe Prime Video has grown sufficiently over the years so that Warner + Fox + Disney are now small enough to attempt something like this?

In any case, I don’t think it’s a way to improve user experience in a streaming world: it’s a pretty transparent attempt at improving bargaining power within rights negotiations…
