Amazon . com . com eyes laffers, kids content
Amazon . com . com may be following its rivals inside the subscription VOD category into original programming. Job posts round the online retail giant's own website reveal Amazon . com . com is seeking professionals in a position to developing halfhour comedies and kids programming. The posts first found light on tech blog GigaOm. The business did not respond to inquiry seeking comment. Just the other day, Amazon . com . com declined to comment inside an interview with Variety whether it had any fascination with creating original programming due to its SVOD product, Amazon . com . com Prime Instant Videos. The posts don't specify the programming creation is especially for Prime or its online shop for just about any la carte transactions, Amazon . com . com Instant Video. The job is indicated to become beneath the auspices of Amazon . com . com Art galleries, a division that came notice a year ago for optioning movie scripts. Amazon's search for a comedy professional identifies, "An ideal candidate knows the comedy genre, has development and production experience and desires to use authors and artists to develop original series for your web too for traditional distribution channels." Job responsibilities connected while using position include assessing pilot plans and with authors and artists to develop series ideas. While Amazon . com . com Prime has subsisted so far on licensed catalog programming from a variety of art galleries and systems, rivals including Netflix and Hulu have moved beyond library fare to developing their unique original series as a means of distinguishing their services.
