Beginning later this year, Amazon Prime users can stream 10 Thursday night games — which will still be available on linear TV on CBS and NBC (which are splitting rights), and NFL Network.

According to The Wall Street Journal — which first reported the news Tuesday (https://www.wsj.com/articles/nfl-and-amazon-reach-one-year-streaming-deal-for-about-50-million-1491347701) —the one-year deal is valued at around $50 million, reportedly five times the amount Twitter paid to stream the same amount of games last year.*
A key difference: Anyone could watch the games on Twitter last fall for free, but Amazon requires a Prime membership. The company currently boasts about 60 million Prime (https://www.recode.net/2017/2/3/14496740/amazon-prime-membership-numbers-66-million-growth-slowing) members worldwide. Read more...
