The company had stated at the time that it planned to triple the amount of original shows and movies that debut on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service.
Deadline reported on Tuesday that Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service will start running advertisements for subscribers in the United States excluding Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Mariana Islands on January 29.
Amazon raised the annual subscription price of its Amazon Prime service from US$119 to US$139 and its monthly subscription price from US$12.99 to US$14.99 in February 2022.
Representatives of the company stated that the streaming service aims “to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.”
