Amazon Prime Video Channels is offering a 99p deal on a number of streaming channels, including STARZPLAY and Shudder.

With the winter months leaving many people in need of a box set to while the dark evenings away, Prime Video Channels is offering a limited opportunity to sign up to a number of services for just 99p for 3 months. That includes Shudder, AMC’s horror subscription service, and STARZPLAY, the subscription service stuffed with STARZ box sets.

What is Prime Video Channels?

Prime Video Channels is Amazon’s VOD platform that allows Amazon Prime members to add other streaming services to their account as bolt-on subscriptions – not unlike the way that Netflix is available through Sky or Virgin Media. More than 70 channels are available as add-ons in the UK, enabling these extra subscriptions to be managed and paid through one Amazon account, without needing to sign up to another bundle or contract – and watched via the Amazon Prime Video app.

Which channels would you recommend?

Shudder has had a barnstoming year in 2020, debuting lockdown horror hit Host, as well as acquiring exclusives such as Vivarium, Anything for Jackson and La Llorona.

STARZPLAY has also stepped up its streaming game in recent months, becoming the exclusive home of Doom Patrol, the Golden Globe-winning Ramy, historical romp The Great, Four Weddings and a Funeral the TV series, Power spin-off Power Book II: Ghost and – arriving on 3rd January 2021 – Stephen King’s The Stand.

Are Prime Video Channels the same as the individual apps?

Generally speaking, the library for each of these channels is the same on Prime Video Channels as it is within their standalone services, websites and apps (sometimes new titles can take a little longer to appear within Amazon Prime Video’s listings).

However, a subscription within Prime Video Channels cannot be used as a login for a streaming service’s standalone app – they are considered two separate subscriptions.

How do I get the discount?

The discounted rate is only available for those who sign up to a channel before 6th January 2021. Don’t have an Amazon Prime account? You can also sign up using the links below for either £79 a year or £7.99 a month.
