We are excited to announce that Media Press has expanded its metadata offering with the addition of Amazon Prime Video’s new linear Prime channel. Launching on April 17, this channel will be available to Prime members in Germany and Austria, introducing a fresh television experience.
A New Era for Prime Video: Linear TV
For years, Prime Video has been a leading streaming platform, offering viewers in Germany a diverse range of content across multiple models: SVOD (Subscription Video-on-Demand), AVOD (Ad-Supported Video-on-Demand), TVOD (Transactional Video-on-Demand), and even live TV, including public broadcasters. Now, Amazon is taking a step further by introducing Prime – a linear channel designed to provide a more structured and accessible way to enjoy curated content.
With today’s overwhelming amount of choices, viewers often struggle to decide what to watch. Prime simplifies this by offering a curated, linear TV experience, featuring the best content from Prime Video in a format that removes the need for endless searching.
The Role of Media Press
As a global leader in metadata solutions, Media Press plays a crucial role in enriching, formatting, and distributing metadata for audiovisual content. Our advanced technology ensures that metadata for the Prime channel is seamlessly delivered in various formats, tailored to the needs of:
✅ Electronic Program Guides (EPGs)
✅ Mobile apps
✅ Streaming platforms and websites
✅ TV magazines and print media
Our OpenID technology enables precise content identification, integration with age classification systems, and seamless linkage with client-specific and external identifiers. This ensures consistency and high-quality metadata, which is essential for broadcasters, streaming services, and other content distributors.
Why Is This Important?
Our collaboration with Prime Video further highlights Media Press’ pivotal role in the media ecosystem. Metadata is the foundation of modern content consumption – it helps audiences discover, understand, and enjoy their favorite films and series. We support leading streaming platforms, TV operators, and publishers by delivering accurate, enriched, and comprehensive metadata that reaches millions of viewers daily.
A big thank you to Prime Video for the trust – we are proud to be part of this new chapter in digital television!
