Amazon, NFL Negotiating Exclusive Streaming Deal, WSJ Says

Amazon.com Inc. could get exclusive streaming rights to National Football League Thursday night games -- which would still be broadcast on traditional television in local markets of the teams playing -- according to agreements under negotiation, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The new deals include those for the league’s Sunday and Monday franchises with traditional TV networks Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN, according to the report. The NFL could reach agreements as soon as next week, the Journal reported.
