The streaming war is being fought on countless fronts: from prices to the quality of productions, through exclusive products or material to pure weight. That asset seems to be the one that viewers take into account the most, taking into account the figures: the two platforms with the most subscribers, Netflix and Prime Video (although we remember that Prime Video counts all Amazon Prime customers as users, without distinguishing between who are spectators of streaming) are also the two that have the largest amount of product in their catalogs.
And while Netflix has a large number of exclusive productions, Prime Video opts for variety and the immense diversity of sources for its catalog. To a large extent, it does so with the Channels, the “sections” of its programming that are paid separately, as extras, but in exchange they provide all kinds of material. They make up a series of additional packages, often with exclusive content, that provide very important variety to the platform. So much so that in the United States there are already more than one hundred channels available through Prime Video.
Among them, some of the most recent have been Apple Plus+ or Max. In this way, what Amazon achieves is to function as a kind of repository from which other platforms can be accessed. streaming. Paying, yes, the additional fee, but it turns the sometimes somewhat desperate task of wandering between platforms in search of programs that interest us into something that is centralized in one place.
In Spain The offer is somewhat smaller, and the number orbits around thirty channels. Many Prime Video competitors remain outside the offer, although others such as Max, SkyShowtime, FlixOlé, Mubi, Crunchyroll or Atresmedia are possible contractable options. Added to these are more exclusive Prime Video channels that sometimes cannot be contracted any other way, such as Acontra+, AMC+, AMC Selekt (with a selection of 14 more general channels), MGM+ or countless sports and documentary channels. And keep an eye out for the attractive Shadowz, recently arrived in the Channels section and which presents a catalog of pure cult horror only suitable for the fine noses of dark films.
