Amazon wants Prime Video to be the place you watch coverage of election night. The company announced today that it will be streaming a live election night special on Prime Video hosted by former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. The show will kick off on November 5th at 5PM ET.
“Brian Williams will be joined live by guests including prominent contributors across news and traditional media, representing a range of backgrounds and perspectives, to share real-time poll results and commentary while also referencing third-party news sources across all political affiliations,” Amazon writes in a blog post. The company adds that it will be an “informative, accessible and non-partisan presentation.” Amazon will announce the guests in “the coming weeks.”
The show and Williams’ involvement were rumored to be in the works last month.
This election night special is just the latest live programming from Amazon on Prime Video. The company has aired live Thursday Night Football NFL games since 2022, and it will be getting a lot of NBA games starting in 2025.
