Brian Williams in Talks to Host Amazon's Election Night Special

The veteran newscaster could lead Amazon Prime Video's first live news event, focusing on a non-partisan analysis of election results.

Brian Williams is negotiating with Amazon to host a special election night broadcast on Prime Video, marking Amazon's first foray into live news programming.
The proposed special aims to provide non-partisan analysis and will rely on sources like the Associated Press for election results.
Amazon executives have clarified that this event does not signal a broader move into the news business but is seen as a one-time event similar to their sports and entertainment live streams.
The broadcast would take place from a Los Angeles studio and could potentially reach over 200 million viewers, leveraging Amazon's global reach.
If successful, Amazon may consider similar live coverage for other major events like presidential inaugurations or State of the Union addresses.
