This year, Prime Video will air Woody Allen's first-ever TV series, as well as another season of its critically acclaimed alternative-history series, "The Man in the High Castle." In December, it created the Streaming Partners Program, to let people pay to add more channels to Prime Video, including Showtime and Starz.
Netflix, meanwhile, has also aggressively moved into original programming with "House of Cards," Judd Apatow's "Love" and Aziz Ansari's "Master of None." In January, CEO Reed Hastings announced that Netflix expanded to nearly every country in the world.
The good news for both Netflix and Amazon, the two biggest US video-streaming services, is that viewers seem to be spending more time with online TV in general and that plenty of customers pay for both services. Overall, 64 percent of US households with broadband Internet subscribe to an online video service, up from 59 percent last year, according to a report last week from Parks Associates.
