Amazon Prime Licenses ‘West Wing,’ Other Warner Bros. Shows
Managers of Amazon’s Prime video service just got their hands on the critically acclaimed “West Wing” as well as other shows from Warner Bros. Television.
Amazon said today that the licensing deal with Warner also includes such shows as “Dark Blue,” “Fringe,” Alcatraz,” and “The Whole Truth.”
An Amazon spokeswoman said that it will offer “West Wing” and “Fringe” exclusively to Prime customers through the summer, and that later they will be available for viewing to non Prime members on Amazon Instant video.
These shows, which have never appeared legally online before, according to Amazon, are also only exclusively available at Amazon only through the summer, according to an Amazon representative. She said that after the summer is over, the shows will remain at Amazon but they could also show up at rival services.
