Amazon is testing news with a Brian Williams election-night special on Prime Video.
AdvertisementAmazon is getting closer to jumping into news coverage with an election-night special hosted by Brian Williams.
"Election Night Live with Brian Williams" will air on Prime Video at 5 p.m.
"Election Night Live" is a gamble for Amazon, which has no history in news.
A one-off news program is in keeping with its strategy of getting into live event programming like sports and live shopping, though.
