Amazon Scores Additional CBS & Showtime Series

NEW YORK/SEATTLE: Through an expanded licensing agreement, classic series and hit shows from CBS Television Distribution and Showtime Networks are headed to Amazon's Prime Instant Video service.

Prime Instant Video customers are gaining access to hits such as Medium, The Tudors, the complete Star Trek franchise and I Love Lucy, along with newer titles such as Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, Penn & Teller and Vegas. The programming is offered commercial-free to subscribers of the premium service.

“We are very pleased to continue expanding our partnership with Amazon,” said Scott Koondel, the chief corporate licensing officer for CBS Corporation. “CBS content is clearly a great match with Prime Instant Video’s growing user base, including The Good Wife being the service’s number one show this past fourth quarter, as well as strong viewership of Under the Dome over the summer. We look forward to Under the Dome season two this summer, along with Extant, and all that we will continue to do to provide great programming to our mutual customers.”
