Good news for prime members!
"Amazon (AMZN) is investing even more heavily in growing its position in the entertainment world. The company announced Wednesday that it made a deal to acquire MGM, the home of James Bond and one of the most iconic movie studios in Hollywood.
The deal, which is valued at $8.45 billion, gives Amazon an extensive library of film and TV shows that it can use to fill out its Prime Video content coffers. MGM has a catalog with more than 4,000 films and 17,000 TV shows, according to Mike Hopkins, who heads Prime Video and Amazon Studios."

Within the entertainment industry with streaming being the power base for quick revenue, I suspect we will see more Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)..

Yes, I agree with you that content is king and I am sure APPLE Plus and Disney Plus will do more M&A to get more content to draw in those viewers!

How about some worthy new content?

Sometimes I feel I spend more time looking for something to watch than actually watching something.

I agree with you in regards to original programming.

Although, I do see netflix as the leader of original content thou.. They have more new original programming than any other streaming channel.

I have always wondered why Apple and Disney don't work together more... Steve Jobs was a founder of Pixar... And Pixar and Disney... Well, we all know what happened there... Apple and Nothing Real folks from Sony, Shake well and poof Final Cut...
