Amazon to Close Its Freevee Ad-Supported Streaming TV Service

Amazon.com Inc. is closing Freevee, the free-to-watch, advertising-supported streaming service, folding it into the subscription-based Prime Video product, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Amazon plans to move some of the employees and programming from Freevee to Prime Video, according to the people, who asked not to be identified since the changes haven’t been announced. Due to contractual prohibitions, some shows have to remain in a free format, and Amazon is working on ways to continue to deliver them on its main website.
