Amazon have spunked the budget of a Hollywood blockbuster on an online video that will have a tiny audience and won't last two series. The Beeb are well out of it.
I wouldn't be so sure.
My kids no longer watch telly, with a few exceptions like jungle and friends...bizarrely
They spend their "telly time" in front of the laptop, watching Amazon prime, Netflix and YouTube.
Amazon, Google, tesla, farenheight ( never heard of them but the kids tell me) and perhaps Apple, will become major manufacturers and content providers in the future. Cable, satellight and of course terrestrial telly are all desperate to diversify. In the mean time the players are way ahead of them and are leading the way in many other areas such as space exploration, car production and technology. The Google car exists, tesla have just released the model X self driving production car...available right now....Pretty soon we shall see an apple car (and on the same day
@Markymark will provide a review) and Amazon will be just behind them.
So discounting Amazon viewing figures, in the long term, is likely a mistake.
