PBS channels are streaming free inside Amazon’s Prime Video app

Though much of PBS’ programming is already available to stream through through its own apps, now you can access it through Amazon Prime Video.

Amazon has launched a selection of new, ad-free FAST channels consisting of programming from over 150 local PBS affiliate stations and the PBS KIDS Channel. Even if you aren’t subscribed to Prime Video, you will be able to access live affiliate streams in the “Watch for Free” section without having to watch the third-party ads seen on Amazon’s other FAST channels.

When Amazon and PBS first announced their partnership last November, PBS’ chief digital marketing officer Ira Rubenstein described the deal as “part of the PBS commitment to make trusted content available to all households across as many platforms as possible.”

The launch of Prime’s PBS FAST channels comes just months after Amazon shut down Freevee, its ad-supported channel that featured original series like Judy Justice as well as licensed content from other networks like Chicago Fire.
