- Amazon Prime Video launched early Prime Day deals running through June 26, cutting channel add-ons including Starz, Paramount+, MGM+, AMC+, and BritBox to $0.99/month for the first two months — a discount of up to 90%.
- Paramount+ dropped to $0.99/month from its regular $13.99/month price, giving subscribers access to shows like "Dutton Ranch" and "The Chi" plus live UFC events.
- Apple TV+ is available at $5.99/month for the first two months, a 50% discount, timed to originals including "Your Friends and Neighbors" and "Margot's Got Money Troubles."
- Amazon also cut bundle pricing, with the AMC+-MGM+-Starz package dropping from $29.97 to $21.99/month and the BritBox-BBC duo priced at $13.99/month.
- Additional limited-time offers span Hallmark+, Cinemax, Shudder, Discovery+, Crunchyroll, and BET+, though all deals require an active Amazon Prime membership.
Why it matters: Amazon is front-loading its Prime Day streaming promotions by a full week, with up to 90% off channel subscriptions — a tactic that locks subscribers into multi-month commitments ahead of the official sale and pulls viewers into the Prime ecosystem at near-zero cost. The breadth of channels covered signals aggressive competition for cord-cutters choosing between standalone apps.
